Hello, I've recently build a gaming computer about 2 months ago...here are my specs

i3 3220(stock cooler)
sapphire hd 7870 xt
corsair vengeance 8gb 1600mhz
seasonic m12ii 500w
asus p8b75m-lx
wd caviar blue 500gb
windows 7

Now the issue is that i am experiencing some stuttering and freezes in some games like cs go and dota 2...i've already looked at my cpu and gpu temperature and they seem to be just fine..all my drivers are up to date and i also defrag my hard drive once a month.....My gpu usage is also very stable and both memory and clock speeds are too....Could it be my cpu that is causing the stuttering??
 
Solution
Driver problem

Uninstall catalyst completely ...

Look for updated drivers on AMD website.. and reinstall..

7870 is prone to this a lot... it might take 2-3 tries to find stable drivers...

I had already put my power settings to the highest performance and also sent my gpu back to sapphire and they said that there was nothing wrong with my gpu...could it be my cpu or any other parts of my computer(e.g. hard drive,power supply)?
