So the title puts it bluntly. This was a computer I bought off a friend for $300. Not a bad price considering the hardware that was in it. Only until recently I noticed something odd. With a little research, I found that for what ever reason, my CPU is smacking 100% quite often, and is generally caused by simply opening things like YouTube. As shown in the picture below, when opening YouTube, my Latency goes SKY high...

Plenty of fans including a massive side fan, two exhaust fans, and one on the back.
I haven't honestly made a effort in fixing the front panel jack. (It didn't work when I got it.)
When I'm playing games, I don't really notice any power issues. The computer surfs around relatively smoothly, so I'm not sure why I would have so much latency.
Plenty of fans including a massive side fan, two exhaust fans, and one on the back. I have nearly half of my SSD free (I have some clutter to free up.) so there shouldn't be an issue there. My biggest consumers seem to be a mix between Google chrome and Service Host: Network Service (4). They have easily pushed my CPU to 100%
several times. I've completely defragged both my SSD using SSD Optimization, and my HDD. I've also checked the Sectors of both storage devices.

All drivers are updated with the latest version.
Internet can be slow at times, so I downloaded a file individually and noticed it still did this...
I have realtek, razor, and nividia also trying to fight for control of the audio ports it seems... lol.
Please help me, I'm not sure what to do by this point.
