Lag and fps drops in games, could a part have failed?

So I've been having trouble with lag and fps drops for a while now, recently there's a few games I can't even play, Deceit and Tabletop Simulator mainly. Tabletop has very minimal requirements so I'm presuming there's an underlying cause.
My specs:
CPU: Intel Pentium Processor G3258
GPU: XFX RADEON R7 260X
MoBo: ASUS H81M-E
Ram: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB
PSU: EVGA 500 B1, 80+ BRONZE 500W

I know it's nothing special but it should run games fine on low settings, and it does. I had no problems playing GTA 5 on low a few months ago. Nor with any other games. Any suggestions?

Oh heck sorry, I goofed up the formatting. My gpu is a XFX RADEON R7 260X. I have it connected to my monitor.

That's what I had been thinking too but I can't find anything. Could it be that a part needs replacing?
