So basically my fps will spike from 100+ down to 60 over and over again, cause some major lag when playing, which has become unbearable.
Ive tired uninstalling csgo, deleting the csgo folder.

Help would be much appreciated.

First off, when did this start happening?

Second are any of your CPU cores parked? To check:
1) open task manager
2) click on performance tab
3) open resource manager
4) now when you see all of the CPU cores, check by their names and if you see "parked" next to any of their names you should look up how to un-park them.

This whole thing started about 2 weeks ago. None of the cores are parked.
My pc specs are:
Intel core i5 4670k
z87m extreme 4 motherboard
8gb ddr3 ram
radeon hd 7850 gfx card

Have you tried verifying the game cache in Steam?

Are there any big applications running in the background while playing? (Skype, fraps, etc.) Anything else running on your CPU while playing games can cause spikes.
