So I built my PC around a year ago and have never been able to figure out exactly what's wrong with my PC. My laptop that's 4 years old (Samsung Series 7 700Z3A) actually runs the majority of programs better than my $1200 PC.
Problems
Major lags while playing games: Starcraft 2 online on lowest graphics setting (around 20% CPU usage, but goes to 0 frames per second when more than 50 units; GPU spikes from 100% usage to 0%); Witcher 3 on high graphics when fighting lots of small units at once (80% CPU usage); league of legends during team fights;
Major lag when using basic programs like Microsoft word, excel, chrome when streaming two videos (or twitch feeds).
