Have you plugged your monitor in to your mobo or gpu?

i was running a constant 30 fps, but randomly everyhting just dropped

 

[uglyduckk]

what kind of fps should i be running at with a set up like this?

You should not connect monitor to motherboard - connect it to gtx970.

Plug your monitor into the GPU NOT the motherboard. If you plug into the motherboard it will use the I5 internal GPU, which is slower.

Why buy a PC which comes with a PCI Express GPU installed, if you're not going to use it? - -

Every single time there's a thread about a good setup getting 15fps on low...

its in my graphics card and no better

Does your graphics card have a six-pin or eight-pin socket on it? If so, is there a power cord plugged into that socket?
