Hmmm...
From a check on cpu, gpu & Ram... against what the (at the time of release... of SH3) spec's it called for, minimum & max recommendation's, your spec's there... are more than adequate.

(Note: Since downloads are able to be done online through generally, any available web browser... cd/dvd rom drives, are pretty much extraneous... not really needed any more, to be frank. So, that stat, is a moot point there...
)
With SH3 install, is it on the SSD or is it on the Hitachi drive.?
Can't tell what your left over, available drive space is... but... know that less than 1/2 of the space left... can (iirc) affect things... I think. I will admit I haven't kept up with computer equip. specs, as I used to & I pretty much grew up with computers since they became available as personal devices, since the 1st IBM compatibles.
Right now... am racking My head, to see if I can shake any useful info from it on your troubles.
Was hoping for some others, to check in here & chime in... as right now, am drawing a blank.
1 thing I can think of, is wiping everything out & retry installing & modding... but... that, I'd reserve as a last ditch, scorched earth approach... as a.. measure of last resort.
