I am having trouble with lag spikes in CSGO. I get 250fps most of the time on the highest settings, but will get lag spikes every few seconds.

PC Specs:
CPU: Intel i5 6600K Skylake
RAM: 16GB DDR4 Corsair Vengance RAM 3200mhz
GPU: GTX 970
PSU: Corsair cx750m 750w
Motherboard: Some Asus gaming motherboard

Someone tell me whats going on? Playing competitive matches is almost impossible because of these and they are kind of killing me inside so, please help?
Cheers

That PSU is Tier 4. Built down to a low price. Not exactly the most stable units ever created. Very basic safety circuitry or even thin gauge wiring used. Not for gaming rigs or overclocking systems of any kind.

My opinion would be to get a proper PSU that's Tier 1/2. Because bad PSUs can cause degradation in performance and stuff like what you have mentioned.
