Hi guys so ive been on this site many times when wanting to find answers related to PC. Ive made an account to try asking a question my self and I would really appreciate an answer if possible.

So my pc consists of these parts

-i7 3770k
-Geforce GTX 670 4 GB FTW
-8 GB Ram
and thats all i remember but those are the key components i hope for my question.

My pc has been able to run many games at high settings with 60 frames easy, sometimes more fps sometimes less fps. I don't know what happened all of a sudden but my pc has been loosing its touch and its been months with its condition that it is in. My pc performance has gone down a lot but its strange because games i used to run at high settings with good fps now struggle hard and when i set them to low settings i still get low quality results. Alt tabbing from a game and everything is super slow and annoying. My pc is just slow and not performing as it should with the parts that i have. Ive completley reinstalled windows and wiped my pc about 4 times now and i still get the same results. Games that need less power to run sometimes still give bad quality due to my pc's condition. I get fps drops, fps freezing, for example the new Assassins creed it kept freezing periodically so that the things can render and ive noticed games are taking its bloody time to render objects so maybe this could be a harddrive issue? I was thinking maybe getting an SSD would change everything and make it better, or is it time to get a new pc because im tired of having all these issues i cant enjoy my games, record my games, i used to stream but now i get soo many issues with my pc slowing down. The heating for my parts are good too i used speedfan to see the temps of my cpu and nothing is over heating same with my gpu. So i just dont know what it is. Anyhelp would be appreciated. Just an overall slow pc you would think would run windows vista with no name parts or old intel mobo integrated parts, doesnt make sense as to why my pc is to slow.

OH and ive ran many anti virus checks as well still no clue.

Thanks

Temps you say are fine, and you have done fresh install of Windows, and assume your drivers are up to date. It could be possible that your power supply is going bad, and can no longer provide adequate power, to your system. You can do a check disk, to determine if your HDD is having issues. Do the full scan, for bad sectors as well.

wait i didnt know my computer can still run even tho the PSU is not giving its all. But like i said its strange because i was running my computer fine and that was with the same psu i have now. Since i wrote this post i did a defrag and currently running an anti virus again, also im gonna try razer game boost for my games. I also disabled windows update. It appeares that my RAM is at 80% when im playing my games sometimes higher and I have 8 GB's of RAM so i dont know why its using that much. Is there a way to check if its my psu?

i will deff check that program out but i also think i should mention. 30 mins ago i purchased compressed air and sprayed my pc to the max, to see TONS of dust coming out. To be honest I have seen GREAT improvement in my fps in my games. However I also noticed that as soon as my buddies call me either on skype or on curse any VOIP program my fps goes down a ton. Maybe it has something to do with the voip's i use?
