Also, if I have both of them on will it make my computer slower? I worry that my two protection systems may be conflicting causing my computer to be slower.

Windows Security Center does NOT protect against anything, it simply monitors your other security apps.

You need a firewall. An anti-virus is NOT a firewall. They are 2 very different animals! Your AVG is not a "system", it is a simple anti-virus.

You STILL need an anti-spyware program in addition to the above. I suggest:

SUPERAntiSpyware:

They have a free version.

Good luck.

You need one firewall.
Anti-virus and firewall are 2 completely seperate things. I recommend you keep both
Yes you should have a firewall as the AVG doesn't do everything that a firewall does.
The two programs do different things, windows will work with AVG to insure that it is up to date and AVG will work with windows to make sure there are no redundant services running.

So it is OK to use them both.
