Did you remember to change your graphics settings in the games to what they were previously? Also, I'm assuming you're using OBS. Did you make sure that those settings are back to what they were? My OBS just updated a few days ago, and it swapped my settings back to default, and I had to plug them all back in again.
 
with a new build and clean os. start with the mb bios make sure it up to date. then make sure intel newest chipset drivers are installed and newest msi drivers from the mb vendor. make sure the monitors are plugged into the video card and not onboard video port.
 


I changed it back to what it was and i had a backup of my previous obs settings. gaming works fine now but its just obs that keeps dropping frames and my cpu usage is way higher then it used to be for some reason
 


The only part that had been changed is the addition of the 1tb ssd. i even removed the ssd and it gave the same issues.
