I built a new pc a couple days ago that has 8gb of ram, ryzen 3 1200 and a gtx 1060. My problem is that so far i've played 3 games consisting of pubg, gmod and fortnite. My fps fluctuates on fortnite and gmod when playing multiplayer as the fps drops for a second and then shoots back up no matter what resolution i play on and what settings. Pubg although my fps does fluctuate the game does have poor optimisation but its nowhere near as bad as the other 2 games. Can someone help me? I've tried using ddu and reinstalling my drivers multiple times and researched online. My gpu usage on msi afterburner while in game fluctuates but hasn't gone above 80% for fortnite and gmod.

I'm on windows 10 and my pc specs are:
GTX 1060 6GB
RYZEN 3 1200 CPU
ASROCK A320M DGS motherboard
TEAM VULCAN (2x4gb) 2400mhz ram
KINGSTON 120GB SSD
be quiet! Pure Rock Slim CPU COOLER
A CORSAIR VS550 80+ PSU
AND A Hitachi - Ultrastar 7K3000 2TB hdd
 
What is your FPS normally in the game and what is it dropping to? What is your CPU usage during those times, is there anything in game happening that might make your system work harder than normal? (ie smoke, crowded city, fire, explosions) Is it happening in regular intevals? How much RAM is your system using? Do you have 10 chrome tabs open while playing games?

It could be anything from drivers to your RAM being full to CPU usage being 100% and then the game asks for more... a lot of things. Doesn't sound like a GPU issue to me but could be wrong. Any extra info would go a long way towards getting to the root of your problem.

I uploaded a video on youtube the link is above this comment. For some reason my ram usage is only 50% im not sure whether thats supposed to be like that or not but i believe it might be because of my ram but on system properties it does say that i have 8gb of ram so i am a bit confused.
