well i had this cpu wit a different build with a worse gpu. a gt630 to be exact and it didn't have any problem. so i thought il use this cpu for my new build. i change everything literally everything and now i have this cpu problem. could it be my motherboard or my cpu bottle necking my gpu. but hwen i turn my max cpu power state down to 70% the lag goes away but i get way less frames. please help me thanks

Yes, it is possible. That is what I was saying above. When the game gets graphically intense, the GPU will demand more work from the CPU because the R7-260X can deliver more performance that the slower GT 630. As a result, the CPU maxes out. Add to that, the extra work a busy 64 player server puts on the CPU. Work that playing single player wouldn't.

its not even in graphically intensive I can sit in one area for 5 minutes and it will still lag. also this is in tomb raider in single player. I also have windows 8.1 if that helps any

Well. That is indeed strange if it does it while sitting motionless in even single player. Do you have a lot of stuff starting with Win? Check your tray and tell me how many items you have in it. Same with System Configuration/Startup; how many boxes are checked?

Have you updated your virus pgm and run a FULL scan lately? If not, do so.
Install Malwarebytes and run a malware check too: https://www.malwarebytes.org/
Let me know the results.
