Hi guys and thanks to anyone who reads this.

Before I go into the details here are my Specs!

CPU: I7 5820k 3.3ghz Currently stock clock speeds.

GPU: Asus Strix GTX 1080 OC edition.

Ram: 16GB of DDR4 2133 Mhz Hyper x Predator

PSU: RM 850x Corsair Gold standard

SSD: Kingston 240gb SSD

HD: 3TB HD


About a week maybe 2 my pc was running games smoothly as ever with between 90-144fps at 2560 x 1440 on my Acer 27" G-sync ready 144hz monitor (XB270HU)
It being a 5 year old pc and running on a basic coolermaster PSU i decided to upgrade it to a Corsair RM 850x Gold rated and now since the change in PSU my PC struggles with all games apart from Overwatch, which is odd as before i changed the PSU Overwatch was starting to struggle to run with FPS spikes from 100 down to 20 every 10 seconds (Another reason why i changed the PSU)

This goes for all other resolutions, and if i put all my graphics to the very lowest it still struggles to get passed 60fps

However Overwatch now runs perfectly with 100+fps and all my other games run with less then 40fps.

Destiny 2 runs between 30-50

Tom Clancy's wildlands runs at 27 in benchmarking (Picture provided)

Ive checked my usages with my CPU never going above 30% and my GPU on constant +98%

My temps are good with my cpu never going above 50c and my gpu staying between 55c-62c (Baring in mind its running at 1440p)

Ive checked all my cables after the installation of the PSU and all of which are correctly plugged in and nothing is lose, ive also changed the Slot in which my GPU sits in. Ive done a full system restore and a clean install of windows.

Im unsure on what else i can do and any help will be greatly appreciated.

I'm currently installing 3D mark and will post more Benchmarking from the software.

I shall re check everything again! Double check that I haven't missed anything, but wont be able to do that until later as busy day today! Here are some benchmarking results from the 3D mark.

Okay so double check all components and everything is properly fitted and still bad performance across majority of games.
