I just put my PC together and loaded steam onto my HDD instead of my SSD to save space and downloaded just cause 3 and its playing like a powerpoint presentation.
Components include:
i7 8700k cpu
RTX 2060 graphics card
16 gbs of 2100 DDR4 RAM
a seagate 1tb HDD

Is it the HDD causing issues or is it something else?
 
Solution
Your Pc is plenty powerful enough and you should be getting well over 60fps. Did you forget to download your gpu drivers? Also try downloading HWMonitor to check your thermals, maybe you cpu is thermal throttling.
