So recently all of my games have started having stuttering moments where the freeze-normal-freeze-and so on.
My Specs:
FX-4100(checked temps., running normal)
ASUS M5A97
GTX 560 SE
Coolmax CU-700B
Crucial Ballistix 8GB 1333MHz(2x4)
Western Digital Caviar Black 250GB(120GB free, defragmented 2 days ago)

Games I play that are stuttering:
DayZ
Mount And Blade: Warband
Infestation: Survivor Stories
Rome: Total War
Battlefield 3
Medal of Honor 2010
War of the Vikings
Skyrim
Crusader Kings II

All these games ran like a charm until recently. I'm suprised to have lag issues in games like Rome and M&B which require little to run them.
I have no idea why this is happening. Just ordered in a R7 260x to see if it will fix the problem.

After reading the list of games where you experience micro/stuttering, I would suggest it is your video card and/or driver. However, antivirus software I heard can also contribute to it. Simply disable or suspend your antivirus if you have any while playing games.

Other than that I would conclude to be your video card as you have a solid PSU.

Let us know how the R7 260X works for you.
