My build is a gtx 1060, 8 gb of ddr4 ram, a i5-7500 3.4, 600w power supply, 120 ssd, 500 gb hard drive. I stream and play fortnite which is not a very tough game to play and I normally get about 120-180 FPS. It seems like after I play a couple games I get huge frame drops and go down to 30-60 FPS. I updated my drivers and dusted it but no fix. The lag spike drops seems to be going up and down, it will drop then go up and just repeat. Any ideas?

sounds like either a memory leak or temperature issue.

monitor your temperature with MSI (cpu, gpu) , also alt-tab out of the game for 10~20 minutes, then alt tab back. do you still get lag spike? if lag spike is gone and came back after a few games, likely it's temperature related.

another issue could be related to your memory, are you getting a lots of page faults when the lag starts to happen?if that's the issue, maybe you need more memory.

Sure sounds like CPU or GPU throttling to me, this will show us if it is or not. Good suggestion.

I'm not sure if its related to your issue but this solution is gold in general I found it on anther thread. Download RAMmap from Microsoft and run it. Once your in go to the "empty" tab up the top and press "empty standby list" only solution which actually solved my stuttering and fps issues in all games consistently. Helped me massively on my 8700k and 1080ti build.

If you need to do that manually, then something is still wrong with your system. Windows should be doing that memory management automatically.

It's a problem with the two most recent builds of windows 10. You are correct by saying it should be doing it on its own but unless you go back to a previous build of windows then you don't really have a choice. Look up windows 10 standby memory issue and have a read, I recommend doing that

It looks like its been corrected in 1803. Of course 1803 has brought its own new issues so theres that.

Yeah that's right. It's probably not "recommended" but i've disabled windows update service and stuck with the previous build implementing that fix I described when needed. Everything is stable and manageable which I like. Others may like the new security updates etc so I don't recommend it.

The Main issue I have seen is networking related because I have a home server. Otherwise it seems good. May be worth it for you. Those updates are important.
