So I like to think I have a pretty good gaming computer (FX-8350 paired with H100i, R9 280X Toxic, 8 gigs of ram) and I have been having frame rate issues recently. A friend and myself were playing a game (borderlands 2 which I could hit the max fps no problem) and now im stuck in the mid 20's to 30's and I cant seem to figure out why. Drivers are good, everythings up to date and I cant figure it out. It's like this with a lot of other games too. Something I've noticed though is that my hard drive is running at almost always 100% and when i'd hit lag my cpu usage would sky rocket. Any advice?

CPU Is at 4 GHz and temps are roughly 34 on CPU and 45 on GPU. I think the issue is the hard drive because I forgot I had a small 16 gig ssd in my computer (where it came from I honestly dont know) I moved my border lands 2 onto my ssd and its working fine now.
