Lag/Freeze/FPS Drop Playing Games
Hello, i have a very irritating problem with my system when playing games. When i play anything from stalker to company of heroes 2, every now and then the game will freeze for a split second and the frame rate will drop from very high to very low then go all the way back up again. Also when this happens the computer itself makes a noise also for a split second. My system is pretty good spec so i don't understand what is causing this. I also use good hdmi leads.
SPEC:
I54690k with arctic cooler fan (havent even overclocked yet)
MSI r9270x GPU
msi gaming motherboard G45
8gb team elite RAM
1 TB hard drive
power supply is unknown (though as it came with my case so i think this could be a factor, but it is 750w so should be fine power wise)

Also the computer is quite loud even when not playing games. It doesnt sound like fan noise, but more like a general electric noise, it is very hard to describe the sound to you all.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanksssssssssss

most psu's that comes with the case are not good, most of what i've seen at least. so it's worth a check

while playing, monitor temperature to at least rule out temp issues. you can also monitor utilization

most likly the psu dont use bundled psu's in general even if it's going to be enough to power your system
