I heartily recommend a Mac Mini, Air, iMac, etc (can't speak for the new Macbook) and any interface from Mark of the Unicorn. "Once you use Mac, you won't want to go back".
If you want to keep using the hardware you have, I suggest you update the Dell system BIOS, update all of the Dell drivers, get rid of any software you have on it that you don't use, then re-install the Steinberg drivers, then finish off by deleting/re-creating your audio profile in the JK client.
Don't be put off by numbers pertaining to jitter, latency, or delayed borborygmas. Just go do it - it might work OK
Fortunately, I hav a couple of MOTU interfaces and use them. Zero Monitoring Latency interface through Cuemix. Great Interfaces for Prosumer.
Also, i use my Macbook Retina, but have created an SSD Sierra boot drive with only JK and my Audio Interface on it. Boots in less then a minute and processing is very low and latency on the hardware side is very low and 99% in the green with a usual flicker to yellow for a few seconds.
