CPU

GPU
http://www.microcenter.com/product/431572/AMD_Radeon_R9...

Whenever I look at my cpu workload it ranges from 12 to 50 sometimes more percent on the desktop (windows 8) I get random lag spikes in games when I'm not recording and when I am. (Using Fraps)

no, no bottleneck with that. The cpu can handle that gpu easy easy.

Have any idea what the problem could be?

No. That CPU can handle any GPU on the market. It can actually handle pretty much any dual GPU's on the market. That's pretty much the king of CPU's right now, not including server processors. Those two would make for some sick gaming on multiple monitors at very high fps.

Could this be windows 8?

Have you attempted a AMD driver reinstall? I recently had some problems with my GPU(screen occasionally flashing black), after a fresh install of the drivers everything was working well.

Yea, that would be my guess. Otherwise you might have a bad CPU or GPU. I would try to make sure all hardware drivers are up to date (BIOS and GPU), and also make sure windows is completely up to date. I notice that on my computer, if I let it just sit idle for about 10 or longer, "Host Process For Windows Tasks" will start to use up like 20-30% of my CPU and causes it to run funny. But if I just go and close it in the task manager, it returns to normal.

I went into device manager and it say all devices are working properly. So I'm gonna re install drivers and such

Ok well I don't know what to do....... if I got a bad cpu or gpu I just wasted sooo much money........

by "games" do you mean it happens in only 1 game or more? it's possible the game has this issue. You could google your problem on that game and see other having the same issue.
I'm not really sure hardware wise if there is any issue. To me the jumps sound like software because your gpu and cpu shouldn't be having problems together at all.

I really think it could be windows 8.1 on my other computer I had Windows 7 and and everything ran fine but then I tried windows 8 then everything kinda derped and all the drivers were installed correctly so I mihgt just go and buy windows 7

And its for about all my games but ill try them all out again just to be sure

Only when you record? I get frame drops when I record my gameplay as well. I'll be going then sudden 10-20 fps drop, I very rarely record so it's no big deal for me. I too use fraps.

Did you get the latest drivers when you re-installed them?
