Lagging with an over qualified PC

Not sure who suggested you to downgrade operating system from Windows 10 to 7 cause certainly newer version is better coded(optimized) to great hardware what you have it especially in games.
For example even on older hardware Dual core CPU, 4GB ram and video card with DirectX support 10.1, Windows 10 goes perfect with decent FPS what wasnt experienced in Windows 8.1, tested on couple machines already.
If you have it 60 FPS with yours hardware in game which was released back to 2005 i am sure something is wrongly set in your drivers or even in Windows settings(check in Task Manager Processor affinity - 8 cores) cause your FPS should be stuck on 100 like 90% of time .
Make sure to install all necessary drivers, you are free to try DriverBooster for example

Also, maybe try running the game with every optional program like Shadow Play switched off and killing all running processes which aren't neccessary. For example updaters and stuff like that. Just to make sure it's not some incompability. Remember the game is old and as someone already said it is horribly coded in some parts, which might cause compability issues with heavily optimized software of today.
You could also run the task manager while playing the game and monitor the ressource usage. You get graphs for each component (GPU, CPU, RAM) and could watch for peaks to find out exactly, which component causes the lags or is the bottleneck.
Remember, a peak in usage (causing lag) doesn't always mean the component is to weak, it might also mean the game itself is spamming it with unneccessary tasks which causes an overload.

Yes Svchost.exe - Windows Update often hogging CPU and memory resources if Update Agent isn't updated to latest version especially on Windows 7 since Windows 10 option came as upgrade - Which can result FPS drop and generally any game lag cause no resurce is left or free...
