SPECS:
Nvidia GTX 560 (Non-Ti) (Latest drivers installed)
4GB RAM
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
AMD Athlon II 645 3.1 GHz Processor
PSU ANTEC NEO ECO 520W (new)
Those are the basic specs. My problem is that every game I play, (this happens with all games, but it's not as noticeable on low-spec games) my framerate stutters, before it ran on a constant 60+ FPS but now it just drops to 1 for about a second, then continues to run at 60. It happens when I move my mouse around alot on a high sensitivity, but it also happens when something intense goes on (screen shaking from getting shot at, ex. BF3 taking shots and dying).
My computer -should- be able to handle most games. I know the PSU isn't the issue, in fact it fixed it alot more than my old 475W PSU. I applied thermal paste to my CPU, which helped slightly by reducing the drops a bit more. I do -not- have a really good internal hard drive (I didn't build my own PC, I bought it and just changed the hardware. I regret it.) and I heard buying a new "RAID" hard-drive fixed the problem, but I just need someone to confirm it or identify another fix.
