With that setup he should be zoning fast. 3.2 tri core is plenty for EQ even on max settings. An 660 is all good, unless it is a compatibility issue somewhere along the way which is hard to detect if one piece of equip isn't working with another.
I got about the same setup an just installed SSD recently and I zone about 5secs max.
First off do you still have your HDD connected? If so, Did you run DBAN on it?
If no HDD connected than probably not a problem there unless there is one and will get into that if so. But if not...
Than it is probably your internet , 100ms is up there if your wanting fast zoning at least 50 or under would be a goal. I run at about 40 norm but than it is 100-110 if I stream and can notice a little bit slower zoning.
One thing you can try is under options in the game the tab where you mess with the sky graphics etc there is a tab for loading screen art you can set this to none for a small increase in zone time, IMO.
