Hi!
Since I got,a sort of a more demanding game,Prototype 2,and today,CoD Ghosts,I noticed this weird problem my PC is having. After playing 20-30 mins on any of these 2 games,the game starts lagging really,REALLY horribly and it takes me like 2 mins to exit the game. And,if I would to start the game again,it will work,but then again,the same problem occurs after the same amount of time.
But,there is something else. If I was to play TF2,CS:GO,One Finger Death Punch (the most badass game of all time,definitely recommend it,best spent 5 euros in my life) or any game that can be run on a potato,I can play for as long as I want.
And before you go on saying: "Well it's gotta be the temperature of your CPU/GPU.", no it's definitely not. After closing Ghosts,I checked the temps in HWMonitor and the CPU was 43C and the GPU 37C.
So..I don't know what can be the issue here. Do you guys have any ideas what could it be?
Oh,I forgot the specs. And yeah,it's a self built PC. But I did a pretty good damn job I think,since it's working from December 2014 xD If you want to check out some pics:

^^^^ That was before I realised how terrible my wiring was AND that my PSU is upside down,so here it is "improved":

And don't worry,the wire that you see over the GPU in the pics is now under the GPU.
Oh yea,the specs:
Antec GX500 case
TP LINK TL-WN722N Wireless Adapter
An old ViewSonic VA1931wa-LED monitor (working on replacing it with a (hopefully) 1080p monitor)
Speakers
Steelseries Siberia V2 headsets
Logitech G400s mouse
Razer Goliathus Medium Control mouse pad
Logitech K740 Illuminated keyboard (shiny! )
AMD Phenom II X6 1055t
CM Hyper 212 EVO
ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0
Crucial Ballistix Sport 2x4GB 1600 MHz RAM
Gigabyte R9 270X 2GB OC Edition
XFX TS550W
WD Blue 500GB HDD
LG ODD
Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit (reserved a free Windows 10 upgrade )
I cleaned this PC about 10 days ago,as well replaced the thermal paste if that matters. (Arctic Silver 5 paste)
EDIT: Windows updates are downloaded and installed automatically if that also matters
