game ready drivers. also having only 1 stick of ram causes stutters and low fps, as you're not doing dual channel. I'd advise getting another stick and running them in dual channel.

Well afaik, War zone is the battle royale mode of COD, right?

 

You only have a HDD so it's most probable that this is the reason for your "lag" (which is just stuttering) as the disk loads the parts of the map you are looking at . Also, the single stick of 8GB of ram really isn't helping matters either, especially paired with the rather powerful hardware you have.

The one 8gb stick of ram could be a potential issue in some games, although i doubt it would account for MASSIVE lag spikes. 
 

in battlefield 1 I had some occasional stuttering that was solved by going from 8gb to 16 gb(2x8). Just make sure u dont just buy any ram. U want the same exact type of ram if you add another 8gb stick.

ye thats my bad, i do have a SSD and i have the game installed on that SSD i just forgot to put it on the list. Im planning to upgrade my CPU mobo and ram all together which should fix this right? I dont want to make unnecessary upgrades.

Definitely wouldn't be unnecessary going forward.

i mean, i7-7700 should be decent for another year or two, if you want a quick fix, just get another ram stick.
