Hey guys, I'm somewhat new to the high end PC gaming world so i had my friend help me build one, so this is what i got based on his "expertise"

EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB Superclocked ACX Video Card
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
Asus Z97-A ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

all running on a full HD Samsung monitor.

Now, while most games run way above what i expected, giving me 60 FPS on mostly ultra settings on games like the Witcher 3, and the Division for hours at a time. The next day i would turn on the game with no updates or driver changes in between, and get 20-30 FPS. Restart does not fix it and i have de fragmented the pc a few times with no results to show for it. After a few days of leaving it and going back to console gaming, it would run smooth as silk at 60 fps once again.

Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

Thanks,
