I have had my pc setup for about 10 months now and it never had issues up until like a few weeks ago. Everything has been running fine but when I am playing some games like overwatch I get this like lag or frame drop spike and my screen freezes then continue at 144 fps after like a second. This is really frustrating since I play it competitively. The only thing that I have changed to my setup recently is adding a new m.2 sdd and I tried to add 2 fans but I think I might've made the case have bad airflow so I removed them but I am still having the same issue. When I had opened the case fans had accumulated since adding the extra 2 fans so removing them and clearing the dust should've fixed my issues right? I don't know if maybe my CPU is overheating or maybe my GPU is cus when I look at the temps the CPU is staying around 30-50 and my GPU is staying around 65-80. I just want this fix this lag/framedrop issue please. Id appreciate any help.

My setup:
Intel - Core i5-8600K 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor
Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
MSI - Z370-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Kingston - A400 120 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Western Digital - Blue 500 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
MSI - Radeon RX 580 8 GB ARMOR MK2 OC Video Card
