[SOLVED] Is my Hard Drive what makes my gameplay look stuttery at High FPS?

Important System Specs:

GCard: Gigabyte GTX 1050ti (4GB)
Processor: i5 8400
Ram: 1x 8GB DDR4 BallistiX
Motherboard: MSI Z370-A PRO

So, since over a year I've been having this incredibly annoying problem where games wouldn't look smooth (stuttery) despite having high fps (around 100+).
I replaced every single part in my PC besides my hard drive (Ram, GPU, Motherboard, PSU, CPU) which lead to me coming to the conclusion that the issue is either my hard drive or my monitor.
About 2 weeks ago I replaced my 1+ year old 60HZ monitor (BenQ GL2450-H) that was overclocked to 87hz (which I thought might have been the cause of the stuttery gameplay, since I overclocked it a lot) with a new 144hz Monitor (Acer XF240H) but the issue was still there.
So I just did a speed test on my hard drive http://prntscr.com/llafmw (these are the results). I don't know if they show that my hard drive is damaged or not because my hard drive is the last thing that could be causing the issue (since I already factory reset my PC twice, once completely wiping all data from my PC).

I've recently been selling a lot of stuff on ebay and after I sell my current GPU (1050ti) I will have enough money to either buy a GTX 1060 + SSD or a GTX 1070 (I will very likely choose the GTX 1070, since I have a 144hz monitor).

I really hope someone can help me out because this issue has been the most annoying thing that I've ever had to deal with and the fact that my dad died at the age of 51 (me being 16), 1 day before his birthday, almost 3 weeks ago doesn't make it much better.

Of course not, unless you have malware or any type of unwanted file, try run a check. But it most likely isn't your harddrive, I can see you also have a single channel configuration going, which could be an indicator, check your new monitor and play around with settings, using colour, textures and everything that can be a variable can be a factor.
