I have a lot of information to provide, so I'm sorry for the essay
I play a game called Counter-Strike: Global Offensive professionally and ever since August 2013 it's been quite the struggle for me. Everytime I play CS:GO or any game in fact (H1Z1, Borderlands 2, Europa Universalis, etc) 10-20 mins into playing, my PC/game will slow down making my mouse feel a lot slower and my movement/shooting in game. I figured it was probably something to do with my PC obviously, but I couldn't figure out which part it could be, so one day I just said f*ck it and bought a whole new PC.
specs:
Intel i7-4790k 4.0 GHz processor
NVIDIA GTX 970 video card
4 sticks of 4GB Crucial DDR3 1333 Mt/s RAM
ASRock Z97 OC Formula motherboard
Intel 730 Series 240 GB SSD HD
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS
EVGA SuperNOVA 850G2 PS
I also bought new internet and that didn't effect anything either. I'll turn on my PC and play cs:GO and I'll be able to do everything that everyone else can do, but after that 10-20 min grace period is over, it'll start getting slower and slower. My FPS in-game is fine, going from about 200-300 constant, my temperatures are fine (I think- will provide screenshots later in post).
Every mouse I've used slows down when my PC starts slowing down as well to add to the frustration. All 4 of my logitech mice (2 g400s, 2mx510s) will not only slow down, but constantly freeze and make the unplugging noise. I also have a Deathadder 2013, a Zowie FK1 and a SteelSeries Rival and they all slow down considerably in-game, but don't freeze constantly like my logitech mice do.
People I describe my issue to online suggest it's only in my head, but my roommate and my friend who both play CS:GO have played it on my PC and feel the same problem. I've tried restarting my PC after every scrimmage/match I play, but the effect is only minimal. I've tried tons of different settings in CS:GO, Windows settings, video card settings, but none of those have helped either. I can hear my PC start becoming louder than usual after playing for awhile. It doesn't make a crazy unusual noise, but an overworking sort of noise.
I did a test a couple nights ago to make sure it most likely wasn't anything to do with my internet, so I left 5 people's twitch streams on Source in my tabs, which is the highest quality setting you can have. While I wrote an essay, I left their streams on my browser for 4 hours straight with ZERO buffering. I then closed their streams and played CS:GO for 30 mins. After I was done playing, I turned their streams back on and their streams were just constantly buffering for me. So you would think this HAS to be some sort of overheating/overworking PC issue, right?
Here are 4 screenshots I took using Open Hardware Monitor to see if any of you can see any sort of problems as neither me or any of my friends can see an issue. The first 2 are before I did anything on my PC and the last 2 are while having CS:GO, Europa Universalis IV and Sleeping Dogs open (and my PC was being slow).

I honestly don't know what else to do. I've had the same issue on the last 2 PC's and the last 2 ISP's, and still have no idea what is causing this problem. The day I had this new PC put together it was already doing this, so please don't tell me "it's probably spyware and you should reformat." Playing this game is currently my job and I can only play so well with this issue, so I'll most likely have to quit playing altogether if I can't figure out how to fix it. Sorry for the long read, but I'm just really frustrated and tried to provide as much information as possible for you guys.
