My Fallout 4 constantly dropping to as low as 15fps. This problem is incredibly annoying as I have just purchased a new MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X. My specs surpass the recommended specs for the game yet I still get constant lag, even on medium-low settings with god rays and shadows disabled. Apparently, this problem is commonly caused by a CPU that is bottlenecking the performance. What is wrong with my specs?

Here are my specs:

CPU: Intel i5-6600
Mobo: ASRock H170M-Pro4
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V F4-2133C15d 8GB (2x4gb)
OS: Windows 10
