My PC is having a very hard time playing games like CSGO and DayZ. Frames are so low that the games are almost unplayable. It's pretty much like my games are lagging nonstop.

Specs:
MSI Gaming 7 Mobo
Nvidia GTX 970 gpu
i7 4790k Quad Core Processor
h100 liquid cooling system
16gb Vengeance RAM
Corsair 850W Power Supply

Download HWMonitor and check temps while gaming. There could also be problems software wise ( drivers), and I would also advise you to download malware bytes and run a scan.

Is this a new build? Has this worked before? Are the temperatures fine? Have you made recent changes? What is your power supply? Have you tested with a known working GPU? What have you previously attempted to fix this issue? Hard to pin down without more information.

@DSzymborski I built this PC in June and it worked flawlessly until about last month. I am not sure on how to check the temps (I am definitely not versed in PCs yet). I have not made any changes recently. My power supply is by Corsair 850W. I have not tested it with a known working GPU, mine has definitely been working great up until this point though. And no, I haven't really attempted to fix the issue.
