New guy here - looking to get back into PC gaming after using consoles for a good 6 years.
I recently finished a budget build but I am having some issues with it. In certain games such as Insurgency, CS:GO, and BF3, I get random FPS drops. It happens no matter what settings I have it on. I run high on most and average 70-150FPS. Insurgency and BF3 average around 70 on max settings and CS:GO is anywhere from 90-150 depending on the map and amount of people in the server. It will be running great then randomly drop to 25 or lower fps and lag for a couple seconds and then back to normal. Very frustrating when playing an FPS. I know it is not over heating. It is rare for the the CPU to exceed 160 degrees F.
My build :
Raidmax Aeolus case - 500W PSU
4 120mm fans (1 intake, 1 rear exhaust, and 2 top exhaust)
AMD FX6300 Black Edition
Gigabyte R7 260X 2GB OC graphics card
8GB Kingston HyperX Blu RAM
1TB Seagate SATA HDD
ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS mobo
I am running the latest drivers for everything as far as I can tell. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Austin
If it helps at all, I took a screenshot of my CPU usage as well if that may be the issue
