so my computer started acting up while playing overwatch i went from 144 fps to abot 40-50 fps and sound gets distorted aslo major input lag. thought it was the game but it does the same in the division aswell. my cpu temps on motherboard and msi after burner r at idle or lower temps like 20c, while usage is in the 90's and gpu usage is like 50. changing settings does nothing. i have all new parts bought them about 3 months ago i think it might be my motherbaord but im not sure. if u guys could help it would be much appreciated, ty.

specs: Msi gtx 980 ti golden edition
i7-6700k
16 gb ddr4
msi gaming m7 mobo
evga nex750g power supply

What's your CPU cooler? 90C is way too high. You're getting low FPS because your CPU is thermal throttling.

EVGA SuperNOVA NEX is very low quality, not to be used in a gaming system. Please dispose of it before it damages your system. I recommend the Cooler Master V series, Corsair RMi/RMx series, and the EVGA SuperNOVA G2/P2/T2 series of power supplies.
