Sorry, but the speed of your broadband is irrelevant. 

You can show the resolution and format of YouTube videos with:
   youtube-dl -F http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=US3Px2sePWk

(package is net-misc/youtube-dl)

Decide whether or not you need a new PC and make a new post - UEFI/secureboot is irrelevant to poor YouTube performance.
