Hello. So ever since I built my pc a few days ago, I have noticed stuttering in most of the games I tried. What could be causing this and how do I get rid of it? I have well above 60 fps in all games and v-sinc off. I play at 1080p.

*Specs:
-i5-8400
-Asus 1070 Strix OC
-8GB DDR4-2666 (single slot)
-1 TB SSD
-650W 80+ Bronze PS

*Rise of the Tomb Raider Benchmark Results
-Avg FPS: 81
-1% Low: 7
-0.1% Low: 3
-Ram and VRAM usage reached above 7GB
-GPU and CPU temps are very good
-GPU usage bounces around a bit but is usually close to 100%
-CPU Usage jumps around a bit too and sometimes reaches 100%

*Things I Have Tried:
-Overclocking GPU
-Putting antivirus (bitdefender) in gaming mode
-Updating video drivers and windows
-Disk defragmentation
-Checking for memory leak
-disabling razer synapse
-Closing unnecessary processes
-Closing MSI Afterburner

Could it be the single slot RAM?
 
Power plans in Windows to maximum performance, perhaps run your games as administrator too. Create desktop game shortcuts if using Steam to get admin option. And once in game increase the priority level to above normal or very high, just to allow the game to use more cpu recourses.
