Lag in games on high end pc

[osmauricedelauw]

so i upgraded my pc
-motherboard: msi B250M bazoeka
-cpu: intel core i-5 7600K
-gpu: nvidia geforce gtx 1060 (MSI armoaurd edition)
-power suply: corsair 850 watt
-ram: 2x corsair vangeng lpx 8gb 1200 Mhz
-HDD: 2x seagate baracude 1TB 7.2 rpm
cpu cooling: cooler master master liquet lite 120
OS: Windows 10

so my problem is that if i play a game white a big map like "GtaV, Rust, ..." i lag.
but not every one like "Fallout 4, PUBG,..." aldo PUBG takes a thon of time to load.
smaller games are fine. every game i play i get 60-100 FPS but i get sudden lag spikes that make it inposible to play

at this point i am stuck i alredy try a clean win install nvidia drivers are up to date.
SO HELP!!

EDIT: lowering graphics setting doesn't help somtimes it even makes it worse

maybe you have hard drive issues with an HDD

test drives for issues with SeaTools from Seagate.

I agree. Get yourself a second monitor or use MSI afterburner and monitor your HDD performance load while you game. I bet your HDD is pegged at 100%. This is because you only have 8gb of system memory which causes a large or compressed page file that has to decompress. This results in excessive disk I/O. If you only have 8gb of system memory, upgrade to 16gb.

could be the newest nvidia drivers, try rolling it back.

try to stabilize your CPU PERFORMANCE by setting your CPU clock and ratio of core clocks to static or fixed (not dynamic) and turn off Enhanced Intel Turbo Boost or EIST to achieve the most stable CPU state (These settings can be found in your BIOS OC settings most likely).
