Currently, I built a gaming PC and it's running smoothly on basic tasks like web browsing. But, whenever I play a game like Sundered (not even that demanding), it runs slowly. Same story with even lower demanding games like Kingdoms and Castles.

Specs:
Intel i5 6600k
MSI GTX 1060
16 GB of Trident Z RAM
MSI Z170A GAMING M5

I have already checked the temperature using HWMonitor and it's always between 20-30 celcius.

Try swapping the video cable and or different pci-e slot. even try a different vid card to know if its your card or the pc. I cant imagine it would be the monitor, unless you're forced on 30 hertz or something.
