Hey guys, basically whenever I play a graphically intensive game, whether it's DotA 2, Overwatch, or something like Metal Gear Solid V, it stutters for about half a second every few seconds.

I assume it's probably either a RAM (around five years old) or PSU (no more than a year old) issue. I just want to be sure by getting an outside opinion. My specs are below:

• Asus Sabertooth 990FX
• AMD FX 8350
• MSI Gaming X GTX 1080
• Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB RAM 1600Mhz
• Asus Xonar D2X
• Corsair CX600

Thanks!

Sorry for bad english.

use MSI Afterburner to check your pc's core temps, memory etc.
I had recently upgraded my gpu from a HD6950 to a GTX 970. And I got microstuttering every third sec.
My CPU usage went all up. But I found an fix, atleast for me. I started a game. got microstutter.
ALT TAB out, open task manager. Stopped all the tasks I dont use. Took one and one at a time.
End task, went in game, ALT TAB, end next task. And so on..

Until I ended the MICROSOFT [R] CONTACTS IMPORT TOOL. The everything was smooth... BUT FOR SOME REASON THIS TASK ONLY COMES UP AFTER I START GAMES.

I havent completly stopped this task, it cames up everytime I start my pc. I have also checked this on other games, like Mass Effect Andromeda...
