My PC components are as follows-
CPU - A8-6600k
GPU - GTX 550Ti
RAM - 8GB of HyperX Fury
MB - F2A85-M PRO
OS - Windows 7 64-bit
PSU - EVGA 450 BT 80+ BRONZE

As I am playing I get low fps on games like CS:GO, I get around 60-120 with spikes which is really uncomfortable for my nerves and eyes. :D
Also I have the latest drivers for each of the components listed, I have also fiddled with windows settings and nvidia settings to get the best performance, my dump files and temp files are getting deleted often too, I even clean my components regularly, as well as thermal paste has been changed for my CPU and GPU, but it is still giving me bad frames, I also wanted to mention that my temperatures are good... Any ideas ?
Cheers in advance.

Your components are just too old maybe. I watched a small clip with your GPU and the min fps is 39 which is unacceptable. Since even if your average is 60 for example, drops like that make the game feel like you lose half a second of a crucial moment. It's a very old system, try lowering the settings or upgrade it.

go to NVidia settings under manage 3d settings and make sure your power management mode is set to maximum performance.. if it is not already set then this will help a bunch.

I have already done that, I even wrote it too ''I have also fiddled with windows settings and nvidia settings to get the best performance''
Thanks anyway. :]

I had a laptop some time ago which ran more smoothly than this, it makes no sense to me, but I guess the CPU is trash :/ The PC has always ran weird for me, 90 pound of CPU to waste :D
