PC Stuttering at 60 FPS
My pc always runs games at 60 fps but there is always this random stutter almost like a mini freeze that lasts .5 seconds so its really quick but its annoying since I can clearly see it since its all smooth. I've been having this issue in every game but I notice it in some more than others. The games I notice it a lot is in Skyrim, Counter Strike Go, The Witcher 2 and Stalker. The only game I have ever been able to play without getting annoyed was "Shadow of Mordor"

My Specs are:
Intel I5-4670 CPU(4cpus) 3.40GHz
8GB RAM
GPU:GTX 770
PSU: Corsair 750Watt

This problem has always been there and im really looking to resolve this since im stumped and have tried everything and I am in need of Idea thank you.

I figured out why I thought there was a lot of stutter in CS:GO online, rats kinda bit my Ethernet cable causing me to have unstable connection. And as for stuttering/minifreezes in skyrim and other games well Conz maybe right about me needing to try out a ssd, but is it like this for everyone who has an HDD?

54~60 FPS is acceptable frame drops, if you noticed micro stuttering turn your V-Sync on.

ugh, here a more detailed version. 404 not found. (;-;)

I had the same problem also. I was getting 40 fps with a gtx 770 in BF4, but I found a couple tricks.
1. Try Repairing/ Re-Installing your game. This helped a ton in BF4, as the game wasn't recognizing my graphics card for some reason.
2. Try restarting your computer. A fresh boot always helps :) 
3. Try Running Heaven Benchmark after a fresh boot. This pushes your parts to the limit, thus taking your PC out of the idle/derp mode it is currently in.
4. Use a CPU unparker. This particular program allows me to set the minimum cpu speed, which is great for combating window's cpu parking thing.

And about your frames, make sure you HDMI cable is plugged into your graphics card. A gtx 770 SHOULD NOT get anything below 60 fps in a low resource game like csgo.

As with the internet lag, always use an ethernet cable and use a DNS server.

I had the same problem also. I was getting 40 fps with a gtx 770, but updating the drivers seemed to do the trick. Also, I tend to run the Heaven Benchmark whenever I boot. This "Wakes Up" my PC and somehow takes my computer out of Idle mode. I also use a CPU unparker program. This allows me to set the minimum cpu speed, which is great for gaming.

a few dips in the fps is ok, not often though, juts a few. and 54 is ok. you cannot have 60 all the time, even high end rigs suffer from stuttering sometimes.its more on the game itself not the hw that you have. if it's >30, personally i think its ok.
if you have some funds, look for an ssd, even 120gb would be enough. just put the os there and 1-2 games that you like

WD BLACK SERIES WD1003FZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive, that's the harddrive I currently have. Not sure if its a good harddrive or not

The only thing I haven't upgraded in my pc is the HDD so I don't know.

No I don't have a SSD drive just a regular HDD and I just tried it on medium settings and its doing the same, is an SSD really needed?
