Hello, I'm experiencing random fps drops when playing my games. I've owned my pc for almost a year now and I haven't had this problem until just recently. I used to be playing games at a steady fps constantly, if I were to play League of Legends, I'd usually get 200+ fps all the time but now for some reason, it will randomly drop below 30-40 fps. It's the same with all of my games. If I'm playing a game capped at 60fps it will usually go below 10-20fps. The fps drops happen temporarily for about 5 seconds or more, it's really annoying and frustrating especially when playing competitive games.

My PC Specs:
CPU: AMD FX-8320 @ 3.5GHz
MOBO: TA970
RAM: 6 GB
GPU: Zotac Geforce GTX 760
PSU: Corsair CX500

I'm pretty new to building so any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Example of the problem:

Updated the thread with a video. Even when I don't record and the game plays at 50-60 fps, it will still occasionally drop between 5-20 fps. I have the latest graphics card driver installed.
