So I have recently upgraded my PC's GPU/HD(SSD). Before I had a 1tb WD HD, and 750ti. I was getting random stuttering or possible bottlenecking somewhere, and would lose fps randomly in games from CSGO, to arma 2/3, to WoW, Or really any game. My friends don't suffer from this even with lower specs? Any suggestions?

CPU- AMD Fx-8350 @ 4.0/4.2Turbo (stock cooler)
MB- M5A97 LE R2.0
RAM- HyperX Beast Series 8GB 1866 (1333)
GPU- EVGA 760 ACX SC (Stock OC)
PSU- Corsair cx600 80+ Bronze
HD/SSD- Crucial MX100 256gb (Fresh OS install + Game installs.)
Monitor- Asus vg248qe

I had planned to get a new PSU, (Corsair h750i 80+ Plat.) and another 760 for SLI. Or possibly getting a i7 and new MB. But this is down the road, and don't seem like it will help with my current issues. I know most will say "Well it sounds software" I also would say so, but I just reinstalled twice recently to be sure. I may also run RAID 0 on my ssd, also down the road.

 
Temps temp temps, check your temps. Lets make sure you are not thermal throttling. (specially with stock cpu cooler)

Cpu-
Download prime95
Coretemp (or realtemp)
Load up coretemp or whatever you downloaded to watch cpu temps, then run prime95 blend on all cores. Watch the temps for 20mins, stop it if it starts creeping past 70C.

Same thing with the GPU, but we use different software.
Download GPUZ (This shows gpu speeds and temps)
Down Kombuster and run a stress test, while watching gpu temps (stop kombuster if gpu goes past 80)

Report back your temps.

I'll do this when I get home after work and update the temps to you. I don't remember having issues last time. I was just OC my gpu pretty far the other day for 30 mins stable, and kept it cool. While I do have a stock cooler, I have 5 120mm fans, and a 200mm fan on my case. All corsair fans. The cpu seems to keep cool aswell, But the stock cooler is crap at any rate. I'll test it just to be 100%.
