I'm having troubles with my brushes laging. I've tweaked the different preferences according to other forums but none of them seem to reall help. Below are all my settings. I am by no means computer savy so any help here would be greatly appreciated. I paint a lot on photoshop and this lag is driving me crazy.

If you are using Windows 10, open the Task Manager > Performance tab and try painting with a large brush (1000 pixels 1% spacing) See what is going on regards CPU usage. I went crazy for a good few seconds to get this for instance

Try the same thing in the Proces tab but click on the CPU column to order things by cpu usage.

BTW The info you provided is not as usful as CPU clock speed. Photoshop does make massif use of the GPU unfortunately. A very fast processor is much more important.

[EDIT] I should have mentioned that unless you are using an underpowered system, my money is on the tablet driver, What is your CPU, and what is its clock speed?
