So i have had my pc for a little over 2 years now i bought it from xidax.com it was a prebuilt rig i told them i simply wanted to be able to play wow and ark survival evolved on high graphics...it does play ark survival pretty well however it does not play wow very well...i play overwatch with about 40-60 frames on lowest settings,my cpu seems to be constantly spiking to high usage even when im barely doing anything on the computer.when i first got the computer i was able to play overwatch on ultra with 60+frames. Im curious as to what you guys think my pc should be running your typical games at (wow,pubg,overwatch,black ops 4,ect) any and all input is welcomed.sorry for the grammar. my pc specs are as follows

Unfortunately, both your CPU and GPU are on the lower end of the performance scale for a gaming rig. Neither are suitable for high-end gaming, but should be okay on the low end.

Make sure your system is free from malware/viruses and that all of your drivers, especially video and motherboard chipset, are current.
