Hi, so I'm in a little bit of a confused pickle state. . .
I'm under the impression I have a decently built computer that cost me a pretty penny and it was custom built, bought all the parts and took it to a shop to have built and whatnot and everything seemed/was fine. But I'm a dumbarse and I don't know anything but supposedly I'm not up to standards based on my specs.

Intel i7 8700k (Coffee Lake).

Z370 Gaming MS Motherboard
http://prntscr.com/1y4otel
DDR 4 RAM
http://prntscr.com/1y4ou5t
GTX 1080 Ti
with 1000i wattage and M.2 drives for important games and ssds for everything else.
I started playing Minecraft modded with a friend and bought a server and was doing great.... Until he mentioned he was getting 300fps+ and his specs.... are not the best. WITH all his graphics set to max. I was getting 20. . . .20!!!! I've installed Optifine and got it to 50 to 80 but.... my ego is so hurt. Then I started to realize ALL My games has been less than 80fps. I'm so confused and concerned now. So I tried overclocking the GPU first.
I tried to use MSI Afterburner and Kombustor to overclock - which I watched a video (of course I need them tuts!) But I literally changed the core clock by 20..... and it crashed the kombustor, and then checkered my screen every time I moved something.
I didn't change the Memory clock, all I did was put the power limit, temp limit to max and fan speed to 70. http://prntscr.com/1y4pbh8
(I'm not running kombustor since I don't wanna checker my screen again). It's not even an intensive stress test either.... wasn't even 1080, it was 720!
Please please please can I get some help in figuring out what is wrong? I have liquid cooling, I have five fans, I even took out my elgato card to maybe boost air flow.
PS: I do wanna overclock my PC - Unless I can get it to running smooth with decent FPS, I don't need 10,000 FPS or anything. I'd be happy with 144 to 200 fps for my monitors refreshrate being 144.
