I built this pc and installed windows not more than 3 days ago and i'm getting fps anywhere from 30-80 at med-low settings in CS:GO in an online deathmatch game as well as massive input lag on keystrokes and mouse movements, along with massive stuttering atleast 3 times in 5 seconds it'll drop down to below 40 fps and lag like crazy.

GPU usage in game is also quite low, only sitting at 12-26% for most of the time, never going any higher than 26 though.

CPU usage in game stays right up at 100 pretty much all the time

Specs

CPU: Pentium G4400 - with stock cooler
GPU: EVGA GTX 750Ti SC
Motherboard: MSI H110M Gaming
RAM: Team Elite Plus 2400mhz 8GB
PSU: EVGA 450 B
 
CSGO and practically all Source-based games are very CPU bounded (and may I say not good enough optimized), you need a 4 core CPU if you want a decent stable FPS on CSGO. An i5 with integrated graphics will give you a constant 150fps on CSGO, with a video card (could be a gtx 750 Ti or a GTX 1060) you'll get 300 constant. CSGO is so CPU bounded that the GPU makes little difference for its stability.

CPU stays at 100% utilization pretty much all of the time, while the GPU goes only from 12%-26% - This was on de_nuke and settings at medium to low.

Tested both multiple times, and nothing.
