Background tasks seem to be good. However, if i get issues in the future this will be the first thing I check again. Thanks for your help! That's good to hear, I just wanted to make sure all of my "unnatural" stuttering was gone so thank you for the reassurance! I would just like to thank...

So I finally got my PC back from microcenter and the technician was having a hard time recreating the issue because it was coming and going so he couldn't guarantee it was fixed. He did hardware tests and found that my power supply was partially failing. I swapped it out with a 750 EVGA now and...

Interesting, I don’t have any Razer devices but I do use a Corsair keyboard and Logitech mouse which have their own softwares. I could give it a try. Thanks for the tip! I wondered if it was a CPU issue and it’s interesting that you had the same issue. When you said you close all background...

Alright, so after the fresh windows install the stutter is still there. I tested it with a few more games just to make sure but the games are running exactly how they were before the reinstall. I can give a little more insight into the stuttering, it seems to be different or worse in some...

So the reinstall finally finished after about 4 or so hours. I did opt for it to “clean” my drives, could the be attributed to the extra time? I thought about this too, I did try running the games on my m.2 and my hard drive separately and the issue seemed to persist still. I can give it...

Update: The stuttering persisted after the windows reinstall where I kept my data so I moved on to the clean wipe windows install. So I opted to have it wipe all of my files in all of my drives, clean my drives, and reinstall windows. Once it finishes I’ll test some games and pray that the...

Ok, I will give it a try and let you guys know what happens.

So I did a reinstallation of my GPU drivers, I tried it both manually and the GeForce but it doesn’t seem it have changed anything. One thing I have noticed is that a lot of the spikes seem to correspond to me generating new areas of the game and auto saves/checkpoints. So in Doom most of my...

I haven’t tried reinstalling my video drivers or doing a refresh of windows 10. I’ll give it a try, are there any other drivers I need to reinstall or just my GPU driver? Also I assume with a windows reinstall it’ll also wipe all of the stuff on my PC? I have never done a fresh install with...

I have updated the post to now include Counter Strike: Source, Doom Eternal, and Witcher 3. What do you guys think of the results? Also, It seems that that the frame time spikes do not correspond to FPS drops. my FPS remained pretty consistent plus or minus ~10 frames. Games seemed to run the...

I'll give it a try, thanks for the tip!

Can do, I'll download Witcher 3, Doom Eternal, and counter strike. I'll post the results hopefully by tonight. Thanks for the advice!

If it helps, Assassin's Creed Odyssey stuttered for me pretty bad. I found capping the FPS for that game to 60 helped but I still experienced stutters pretty often. I played the game for 109 hours and it never got any better. While I have not verified this with the other games I did do a little...

There shouldn't be any major programs in the background, I ran a virus scan a while ago to be sure and it came back clean. I ran the tests you see there after restarting my pc with only the game, steam, and afterburner on. Yes, I make sure to check if there are GPU drivers about once a week, I...

I Haven't seen my CPU go above 70 C (typically stays around 60 C when gaming) but I have seen my GPU hit 85 C once (Not typical, more like 75 C). As far as I know the thermals seem to be pretty good.

Yes, I play Modern Warfare off of my HDD, the rest I am playing off of my Samsung 1 TB SSD.

I am not sure if this is the best place to post this but here we go. I built my computer a while ago (year and half ago) for the first time and I have noticed some stuttering in my games, some worse than others. I was hoping I could get some help in identifying if this is normal and if not, how...

Thanks for replying! I didn't know about the new AMD CPU so I'll have to check it out when it comes and same goes for the new RTX series. It looks like I might wait a little longer to see what might come out. Thanks for letting me know! Also I'm not dead set on my case, I'm still looking around...

I haven't posted on this form in a while but its been a few months and I am about to pull the trigger and buy my PC parts but I have one question before I do. I currently own and Xbox One and have been a console gamer all my life, I decided to get a gaming PC so I could blow my console out of...

Hey guys, quick question. I'm looking at my pc part picker list and I am being given this warning, is this a problem? The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s port is disabled. What does this mean?

Thanks! I'll need it lol. :)

ok I see, well it looks like I'll have to wait until another sale. I'm just glad that there'll most likely be another one. I just don't have the money right now and that happened to be one of the most expensive components of my build lol. But my plan is to buy the parts as they go on sale until...

I was worried about the cooling in the case, I'll check out the vid. thanks! Oh my goodness that kills me! How long is the sale? I can't get it right now but in a few weeks I can. How often does it go on sale, do you think it'll go on again within the next 2 or 3 months? Because that kills me...

Oh shoot, thanks for the tip!

I was looking into the panzers as well, they look really nice. Ahhhh ok that makes more sense, you were pairing them with the motherboards. I'll be sure to pick what will make me happy lol. I'll think about it a little more but I don't think I could really go wrong with either one. Will...

Those cases look great, I'll do some more browsing to see which one I like best but the all seem viable. would you recommend a "full tower" or a "medium tower" I'm not sure how the spacing will work out that's why I ask. Ok thanks for the clarification on the 2080, I just thought there might be...

Hey guys so this is what seems to be my final build, I just want to post it to see what you guys think of it, thanks for all of the help. :) [PCPartPicker part list](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7Qp2D2) / [Price breakdown by merchant](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7Qp2D2/by_merchant/)...

Ok so if it goes on the compatibility list then it should be able to run g-sync normally? Because if thats the case I'll just wait to see if the monitor goes on the list and if It does I'll buy it on the spot. It seems like a really nice monitor but my only setback is the no g-sync but if that...

lol will keep in mind. I want to get your advice on this, would it be better to get a cheaper (but still good monitor, maybe like a TN since a good VA or IPS monitor are expensive with g sync) and use it for a while and save up for a really nice monitor down the line? Or should I just buy it...

Ok, I see. I'll definitely do some more digging to see what I'll find but that Alienware monitor does look very nice but maybe just a tad out of price range (unless it hit somewhere $700 then I'd stretch for it). I'll definitely later down the line save up for one like that. Who knew that the...

Haha, ok thanks for clearing that up. when it comes to visuals I'm usually kinda picky so I think moving from the TN panel is a good choice for me. I'm currently on the look out for 2k either VA or IPS panels with g-sync and 27 inches or bigger and I came across these, they're a little pricey...

Thanks for the very in depth explanation, I was a bit confused on the importance but then I read what you wrote and looked up some more videos about it and I can definitely see the difference between either free sync or g sync compared to v sync or the unwatchable no v sync. Thanks for...

Ok, I see. How important is g sync and free sync at high frames, just curious if maybe I should be looking for a monitor that supports g sync fully if its really important. Thanks for the input.

No worries, you definitely clarified it for me. As for what I'll be using this PC for will be primarily and maybe even almost elusively gaming. Thanks! Also found the 32 inch for only $10 more, does free sync work with g sync? and if not is that a big deal...

Ok so I see, if I get a 8700k or a 9700k it'll be good for now but If I go for the 2700x it'll be a better long term investment for the games coming out with 8 cores and more threads in mind? I was getting tripped up on the benchmark comparisons. Thanks for the clarification. :)

Thanks, thats very helpful, I'll look into it some more. thanks for the tip!

If they're the same price I'll have to go for the 34 inch, I'll check out it's size in person and see how it fits. As for the CPU I'm doing some more research and I have a question on something I haven't really been able to get a straight answer for. When comparing the 2700X to something like...

Ok, thanks for the tip, believe me I would get a 34 inch if I could but on my little desk it would practically be falling off! As for compatibility between monitor and GPUs I didn't realize there could be issues with that, how would I find that out?

I'm looking around for MSI VA 2k monitors and they're starting to seem like a pretty sweet deal, thanks for the tip, I'll post the one I'm looking at to see what you guys think of it. As for the CPU this computer is going to primarily be a gaming PC, do you think I'll benefit much from the extra...

Ok I didn't realize the case might be an issue, I like this case and I'll look around for some that are better with cooling and space management. (I dont have a ton of space because I am living in a dorm but really any medium size case is fine. Thanks for your input. I was a bit worried about...
