Guys, im having some problems with my pc, my config is a gtx 970, a core i5 4590, 8gb of ram, a 1tb hd and a h97 motherboard, but when i play games at high settings i get about 20 fps and on games like minecraft i keep getting gliches and i downloaded the latest drivers already. I really need help with this problem because i dont understand much about computers.

What kind of glitches are you encountering?

Are you sure that you have plugged your display into the back of your graphics card and not your motherboard?

im having graphics gliches like white lines on minecraft and frame drops on higher graphics quality games and the graphics card is plugged into my monitor. Even on games that i get like 300fps i still feel laggy.

Have you been oc'ing?

Are your drivers cleanly installed? 

Was the system previously built and was working fine or have you been having issues since conception?

That's not what I'm asking. 

To paraphrase: Are you encountering issues now when you didn't before or were you always having issues with the system?

It sounds like there might be an issue with the graphics card. Is there another system available that you can test your card in?

Can you try running the system without the graphics card and using the iGPU instead? You can play some games to see if you can reproduce the issue. If you don't encounter the issue in that case, it's probably due to the graphics card and you can contact the seller or manufacturer for an RMA.

But if i take the gpu off the igpu will be as bad for higher graphics games i guess. But ill try. One last question, do i have to take the gpu off the build for that?

Lower fps is expected but games like minecraft should be fine. The issue you're looking to recreate is the white lines. 

You should remove the graphics card to make sure it's not causing the issue.

Did you just install the drivers with the disk that came with it or did you update your drivers too? (by using nvidia experience or downloading from the nvidia website)

Plug your display into the back of your motherboard and boot it up. See if you can recreate the issue with the white lines. 

If the issue doesn't appear, the problem is likely due to your graphics card.

That's the only thing left giving you a display if you remove the graphics card.
