hello.
a few months ago i build my own gaming pc.
when i am gaming almost all games lagg.
i see people on youtube with the same gpu as i have in my pc but thay don't lagg and i do.
somebody know this problem?

my hardware:
cpu amd a10 6800k
motherboard msi a88x g43
ram 8gb of corsair vengeance lp
power suply corsair cs650m
gpu msi gtx 770 gaming
seagate 2tb hardisk.

That tells me that your cpu is what is holding you back.
The A10 is not great chip for fast core speeds. Unfortunately with your motherboard, you have no good upgrade options.
If you need better, look for an intel quad and a lga1150 motherboard.
Your gpu is a good one and should have no problem.
Most likely, the A10 cpu is your limiting factor.
See what cpu the youtube users are using.
I will bet that they are using a cpu that has faster cores.
Intel cores are perhaps 30-40% faster per clock.
Unfortunately, upgrading the A series apu is not an effective option.
You buy an apu for the superior integrated graphics. Once you buy a discrete graphics card, that advantage is negated.

Right click on windows taskbar, click on Task Manager, click on the Performance tab. Now run one of those games that lag. Play the game a little (1 minute), then check the Task Manager in windows. If the Performance tab shows that any of the CPU cores are running at 100%, then you have a CPU bottleneck. This is not surprising considering that the a10 6800k, while much improved over it's predecessors, is still lacking L3 cache. Therefore, cache wise, it is very much like an Athlon II CPU.
 
I have found that the task manager is misleading.
I run a task that I know is cpu bound and can only use a single core. Windows will show 25% utilization spread evenly across 4 threads.

Here are two tests you can do to get an idea of how sensitive your game is to cpu characteristics:
a) Run your games, but lower your resolution and eye candy.
If your FPS increases, it indicates that your cpu is strong enough to drive a better graphics configuration.
If your FPS stays the same, you are likely more cpu limited.

b) Limit your cpu, either by reducing the OC, or, in windows power management, limit the maximum cpu% to something like 70%.
Go to control panel/power options/change plan settings/change advanced power settings/processor power management/maximum processor state/
This will simulate what a lack of cpu power will do.
Conversely what a 30% improvement might do.

You could also experiment with removing one core in the bios. This will tell you how sensitive your games are to the benefits of many cores.

If your FPS drops significantly, it is an indicator that your cpu is the limiting factor, and a cpu upgrade is in order.

It is possible that both tests are positive, indicating that you have a well balanced system, and both cpu and gpu need to be upgraded to get better gaming FPS.
