Going to say it again. IT WAS A JOKE!. It is probably not the computer, unless it is maxing out a resource item, despite your picture of your specs only having the CPU and RAM details.
The remainder of the reply is the SERIOUS part. It starts out "Srsly" as that is my shorthand for "Seriously".
Bob the terribly bad comedian wrote:Srsly though, "lagging out" while loading is going to be resource constraints. Whether RAM, GPU (including VRAM here), CPU, Disk I/O, or with SWTOR, even bandwidth as by default it [the game] does stream a lot of the client assets.
Other things it could be is other software that is impacting performance (usually inspection software like security suites/antivirus) or possibly other software which injects overlays into the game (mostly). There are some other less common options too.
Common things we have found over time are noted here

It has also come to light in another game that the there were some weird issues with a newer Nvidia Graphics driver. Although that was mostly about mouse stuttering, but it is probably worth checking and older version (457.30 perhaps if you happen to be using a newer release).
