Hello! I'm just curious about a few things . I have
windows 7 64bit
Amd 8320 clocked at 4.2
Gigabyte 78lmt usb3 motherboard
Evga supernova 750 watt bronze
1333 ram
Evga Gtx 770 2 gb gpu

And after a while of more intense games such battlefield and so on my start having some lag spikes I drop from 60-70 and have sudden drops to 35 or even 20

I'm curious as to how to fix this. thank you

I'm willing to bet that it's a heat issue. Your GPU is throttling due to heat. Download MSI Afterburner and use it to monitor your temps and your clock speeds.
