for a while now i have been getting bad stuttering on games such as rise of the tomb raider and witcher 3, witcher 3 is alot less as it only stutters for once every couple of seconds when i look around the map in a 360 degree motion however games like rise of the tomb raider have been having a real issue playing, i didn`t know what my problem was until my friend suggested i download a program called openhardwarenmonitor log, with this we concluded that my ram was fine,all my temps for my system were golden, however when the stuttering began it was when my system hit 100 percent cpu usage, Here is the graph he made https://imgur.com/a/0qVB1

this is my system
cpu: i5 4590
Gpu: Gtx 1070 8gb
Motherboard: asrock pro4m
Psu: 700w intergrator
Hard drive: Seagate barracuda 3tb
No ssd
Case: Aerocool x3 predator
ram: 2x4 gb sticks of ddr3 hyper x 1600mhz

i really dont know why its doing this and would like some help asap

Weakest link is your HDD, anything that is max'ing out your system ram and video ram usage ends up hitting the pagefile.

So an SSD upgrade would not be unwelcome and even a bump up of ram to 16GB. maybe cheaper to go for 2x8GB of faster ram than trying to get another matching set of 2x4GB 1600Mhz.
Check pagefile usage. System resource, memory, committed. I suspect it'll be quite high with 8GB ram. Into 10GBs + worth of pagefile usage and on a hdd (not ssd) make things worse.

16GB ram will help a lot, especially with a gpu with a lot of vram.
