So like, sometimes i can run Fortnite at 1080p epic settings 60 fps. and sometimes when i log into a save the world mission it dips down to like 40 fps with lag spikes every few seconds that go down to like 10 fps. even when i turn it all the way to low settings it doesn't help at all. ive considered resetting my PC but it keeps saying no changes were made.

GPU-GTX 1070
CPU-Core i3 6100
ram- 8 GB DDR4
hard drive - toshiba dt01aca100
Motherboard- GA-H170-Gaming 3
PSU- 700 W

First and foremost, get rid of that junk quality power supply before you destroy your system with it. I wouldn't be the least surprised if it isn't providing stable power, and hurting your performance as a result. This one is way more than you need, but for the price, it's hard to not recommend.

That said, have you checked your temps? Checked for malware? Drivers up to date?

Don't mean to sound harsh, regarding PSU, but I learned the hard way, and lost a system due to a PSU dying. I don't want others to suffer that fate, especially with that expensive of a graphics card. I was lucky that the parts that died were old, and it wasn't my main rig.
