When gaming modern games my performance isnt great and I dont know the problem.

Here are my specs

I7 4770 3.4ghz (non k version)
1070 Asus Turbo overclocked
8gb Ram
Windows 10

I'm thinking that it could be a ram issue or cpu overheating.

I play on 1080 ultra settings and shouldnt get stuttering or fps drops.
 
Solution
Well...ummm maybe monitor temps? Check them while gaming. If anything goes above 80-85°C it could be throttling.

It also could be ram, monitor it's usage and see how much you're using in different games.
