weak electrical system

Hi everyone, been away for awhile (which is good I guess) but now I'm back with some problems. Most importantly is my electrical system is weak. The system drags when I try to start it. It holds a weak charge of about 12 volts when running. Rolling down windows seems to put a big enough load on the system to where my headlights dim.
I've put a new battery in, the alternator is 2 years old (checked it at auto store and still good), replaced the starter last year, cleaned all connections, no issues with a short or the ground conn, checked plugs and spark plug wire and all look good. Where do I begin???
