Hi there.

I recently tried to fix my lag i had for ages now.. I rebuilded my PC and the only parts i haven't changed is my motherboard and CPU so my last guess would be either my cpu is bottlenecking or my something wrong with my motherboard.

I played some deathmatch tonight, and i looked in MSI afterburner, and my CPU usage was like 60-70% while my GPU was jumping from 1-60% - I did also lag before i upgraded my parts.

my lag is like a stutter ingame... i play with 144hz and 300 fps, so shouldn't be a problem

My specs -
i5 4670k
r9 290
16gb 2400 mhz
asus 87-k
corsair 850rm
