So this issue I am noticing mainly in Islands of Nyne. The issue is that I have low FPS (ranging anywhere from 30-50 FPS), which is very annoying. I went into MSI Afterburner so I could see my CPU/GPU usage and temps, and usage is staying relatively low. GPU and CPU both on average stay below 70% usage, although there have been spikes in certain cores of the CPU that go as high as 90%. The temp for my GPU is flat-lining at about 86° C, while my CPU seems to be doing very well, never going above 40° C, but usually stays at about 36° C.
The possibly the strangest bit of all, is that it only has issues using all of the GPU and CPU when I'm actually in game. when I am in lobby (where I see my character, can buy/open crates, etc.) the GPU usage is at full, while CPU usage drops to about 30%.
For the CPU side of things, it could be a power draw issue, as my motherboard is crap (see system specs below). For GPU it wouldn't be a power issue unless my PSU simply couldn't dish out enough power, correct?
Any help is appreciated!

EDIT:
I meant to mention this, but forgot. I would like to see what the core voltage is on my GPU (the actual voltage it is getting, not just the max that I have allowed), because if it is reaching the max, that could explain the GPU side of things. However Even though I have checked the "Unlock voltage monitoring" option in MSI Afterburner, I still have no option to monitor voltage. I would also like to do this for the CPU, but have no idea where to even start for that.
EDIT 1:
I have tested this out on a few more games, like League of Legends and PUBG. I still get poor performance, and the CPU and GPU are still not maxing out. On League, I imagine I should be getting above 100 fps all the time, yet there are times when I struggle to get above 50 (that said, average would probably be high 60s or 70s). For PUBG, where poor performance should also be expected, it is still maxing out at the same spot, and I am getting about 50-70 frames on average. I cannot think of ANY scenario where League performs similarly to PUBG.
