For some reason i get random fps drops to around 2 fps for a second or two and then it will bounce back up to around 140-200fps in csgo.
My PC specs:
AMD Ryzen 3 2200g
EVGA 1050ti
MSI B350 Tomahawk mobo
EVGA 500w psu
Ballistix Sport LT 4GB 2666Mt/s RAM
120gb kingston SSD

Does anyone know what might be causing this? Is it my small amount of RAM?
 
There is a good chance the lack of RAM, coupled with Windows awful default pagefile set up is to blame, however it could be a connection issue, I sometimes get similar fps drops in anther game, even though my PC and gfx card arent breaking a sweat, and in my case I KNOW it is because the server is a long way off, and struggling to cope.
