the i5 is a quad core /quad thread from 2010, and, 8 GB of RAM is also a bare minimum these days, which can cause issues if any other services are running...

a hard drive can slow access times when roaming large levels that take place in outdooor scenes if/when all of the level can't be contained within RAM...

Borrow an SSD to see if it helps before buying one... 500 GB SSDs are like $40-$60, and, you can always take it with you when upgrading... (The GTX1060 is still a very nice GPU, take it with you as well!)

You have 896 bad sectors on the HDD. it is failing.
Back it up as soon as possible and replace it.
