Communications lag can be helped a ton if you make sure NOTHING else internet-related is running. It's amazing how many programs like Yahoo Messenger start themselves at boot-up and you never notice them.
Kill any and all instant messengers, update checkers, etc. Common sense stuff can escape folks.
What hurts my own game is that I'm confined to a wireless connection. It's an 'N', supposedly super fast (300mbs) but its NEVER consistent and usually inconvenient (like during a BB). Hard line is always better.
As for video, a decent dedicated graphics card (as opposed to motherboard) isn't a bank breaker anymore - consider stepping up.
