I've been using my gaming PC for three years now. Here are my current specs: RAM Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB, 3200MHz CPU, GPU GTX 1080 Turbo. Coming soon is an RTX 2070 and a new Super motherboard from ASUS Prime Z390-A. For most of my games, performance feels very choppy with noticeable frame drops. I suspect the issue isn't just my 144Hz monitor but possibly the graphics card or settings. In tests, I've seen FPS ranging from around 299 to 240, dropping to about 160 in short bursts over two seconds. It's really frustrating and hard to explain. No background processes seem to be running. Any advice would be appreciated.

I don't have real-time data on your CPU temperatures or power supply type. Please check your system's monitoring tools for that information.

Suggest checking with MSI Afterburner for performance insights. Identify areas with heavy usage. Also, confirm the storage drive in use—slow texture or asset loading might occur if it's not an AM SSD.

No, I don't think SSD. Are you familiar with using an SSD? My SSD is just a basic 500GB drive.

Typically around 80°C, my PSU likely runs at about 600W.

How to operate it? Clarify your question. Simply add your games to it.

80 degrees is a bit warm but still okay. Corsair produces numerous 600-watt power supplies.

Yes, it appears in the 'This PC' directory. Which titles should you add—Steam games or something else?

I believe I just added it to the SSD drive. It seems like the one with fewer gigabytes.
