Is this good? I'm new to this..

Hi guys,

I'm new to the whole pc gaming business (console gamer from an early age)

I recently bought a new Gaming rig with;
Intel I7-7700k processor,
16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000Mhz RAM,
Gigabyte Aorus Z270X Gaming 7 Motherboard,
Zotac Geforce GTX1070 Graphics card,
Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD,
Case fans and the such as well which I'm guessing is the norm.

Do you consider this a good set up? because I see videos where the FPS on some games is very nice (100+) using the same GTX 1070 I have, but when I play the same games on the same settings it struggles to stay stable (drifts around 50 to 90)

Is it something in the setup I have that is holding it back?

Is something running too hot? (are CPU/GPU getting over 80?)

Are you playing on the same resolution as them?

Depends what graphical settings they are using in those videos; try some of the games in the GTX 1070 review on guru3d; they do a pretty good job of listing the settings they use so you can replicate their tests. If you can try something with a built in benchmark like GTA V, even better. Then you can get a more accurate azimuth check on how your system is working. Should be a pretty decent setup you have there.
