Unfortunately it's hard to say. But mostly the ram could be a bit better, internet connection can be a cause also, and your graphics cars is pretty old, try downloading the nvideo graphics card manager, just go to the site and look for your model then download the software and install updates

It could help but if not your hardware would be the issue, ram and CPU need to be good to play flawlessly.

Not enough RAM.
