This PC configuration includes an i5-8400 processor, an MSI Z370-A Pro motherboard, a 6GB Asus GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card, 8GB of Hyper X Fury RAM at 2400MHz, and a 600W EVGA power supply. It also has a 1TB Western Digital hard drive. I primarily use it for gaming, particularly Grand Theft Auto V and The Division. While I don’t anticipate optimal frame rates, I frequently experience drops below 10 frames per second that persist for approximately 15 to 30 seconds. My friend has a very similar system but doesn't encounter these same problems (and plays on more demanding settings). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The issue stems from the lack of a solid-state drive; your traditional hard disk drive is inadequate for modern gaming. I advise installing this SSD and transferring all your games and operating system to it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0784SLQM6/ref...db4f8de2a5

The issue stems from your lack of a solid-state drive; the traditional hard disk drive is inadequate for modern gaming performance. I suggest acquiring this SSD and installing both your operating system and all your games onto it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0784SLQM6/ref...db4f8de2a5. You believe that wouldn't improve things? I do possess an SSD, yet games like Grand Theft Auto or The Division aren’t located on it. Let me try installing them then.

The issue stems from your lack of a solid-state drive; the traditional hard disk drive is no longer adequate for modern games. I suggest acquiring an SSD and installing both your operating system and all your games onto it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0784SLQM6/ref...db4f8de2a5. An SSD significantly improves PC performance and gaming experience. I concur with adam19255’s recommendation to purchase a quality SSD.
