Hey everyone thanks for stopping by.

First of all here is my system info on Speccy: http://imgur.com/HH5GRKG

I noticed this problem occurring once i upgraded to my MSI GTX 1070 X recently.

I'm having an issue that causes my CPU load to remain at a constant 95%-100% during most of my gaming sessions. Games include BF1, Titanfall 2, H1Z1 and more. It does not matter whether the graphics are on low or ultra, the result is still the same. My RAM never caps out in any of the games so I doubt that's the issue.

Thing's I've tried already.
Updating all drivers
Deleting GeForce Experience as well as shadowplay
Creating .cfg files for certain games using troubleshooting methods I found for the people having the same problems as me
Full system scan with Malwarebytes
Updating Windows
Using /sfc cmd prompt line

Note: I have my i5 3570K oc'd to 4.2ghz as well as my GTX 1070 oc'd just a little. The problem remains with the overclocks enabled as well as disabled.

I might've missed some stuff but if anyone else has any ideas or tips you could throw out at me I would greatly appreciate it. Please let me know if you need more information or I missed something.

I'm running a 3570k at 4.5 ghz and a gtx 1080 at 2116 mhz
5760 x 1080 my cpu usage is at 48 to 60 percent while the gpu is at 99 and 100 percent all everything maxed out I get between 51 and 60 fps

Also is your ram really 799mhz? Shouldn't you change that in your bios
