My Good PC is suddenly running games poorly, I have no clue what it is.

I am 13, so please try to take that in mind when answering this.

My Gaming PC that My dad and I built back in December has run beautifully, I get (got) well over 60fps on most games (Overwatch, LoL, Tf2, Fortnite, etc. etc.) but as of a few days ago, most of them have been running at sub 50 fps.I have a Radeon RX 570, a Ryzen 3, an RM 650x power supply, 8 gigs of RAM, and I am not sure what else.
I have tried clean booting to see if a program was causing the issue, nope. I ran a scan for any type of virus, nothing came up. I cleaned up my HD and still I have not found the culprit. Yesterday I cleaned out my PC thouroughly using condensed air to no avail. I did make sure not to damage the components with any static, so that is not the problem.

My GPU seems to heat up to 70c whenever I am running games, which I am not sure if that is normal, seeing as how I have not cared or paid attention to that before I started having problems. I have even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, but that did not help. At this point in time I have no clue what to do other than to take my PC to our local IT store, but i do not want to have to pay for some guy to look inside my PC, I would prefer to do it myself. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem?
 
Solution
there been some issue with widows 10 april update and some pc. start with the mb make sure it has the newest bios file to rule out a bios bug. go to amd web page under ryzen chipset drivers download the updated chipset drivers for your mb and install them.

I will try that first! thank you!
 


I installed MSI afterburner, and changed the fan speed to run faster at anything above 55c, but I am still getting <50 fps. I honestly have no clue what is causing these problems.
