Pc feels sluggish and stuttery

[Luke boardman]

Hello, I need help with a problem about my pc. I feel like my pc is not working to the max or to its potential and I don’t have any idea why. It could be to do with something in my rig. I lag and stutter in games such as Fortnite when it gets hectic so please can someone help.

my specs;

1070ti gpu,

i9 9900k cpu,

2x8gb ram,

hard rock pro 4 cpu cooler,

650w psu,

gigabyte z370p D3 motherboard,

1tb hdd.

tell fps on settings you play on. 

but i can tell you right now, check voltages, 650 w is not to much for 1070 ti and i9 9900k

I get 200- 400 FPS and low settings, but I get good FPS but there is still stuttering.

That’s what I thought it could be 

 

Do you have any idea what psu to buy?

I'd put my money on VRM throttling. This board can't handle a 9900k.

It's way more than enough. My own rig only pulls 400 watts from the wall.

 

The model matters a lot though

Anything in Tier A will work, but the Aorus Pro and Aorus Elite are the best values.

Do you think the MSI z170A gaming m7 motherboard will be fine?

No it wouldn't work and the vrms seems very bad for a I9 9900K that have a tdp of 200 or something.

No, that board is not compatible with your CPU. I would recommend a Z390 Aorus board like the Aorus Elite or Aorus Pro.

Even if you hook a 1000w unit on it, it wouldn’t matter lol.

Just use it with stock settings or oc it with 4.8 all cores, I wouldn't say the same but yeah not that much better.

It should be fine as long as you don't overclock your CPU. If it's in budget a Z390 Extreme4 or a Z390 Gaming X would be a better option though.

Do you reckon it would be fine and actually work without game stutters for no reason

I dont have it over clocked now but do you reckon it will stop this stutter lag in game because it’s quite bad at the moment

I mean there is a lot of reason that your game stutters like driver issue defective ram or gpu dying HDD or ssd.

I'm not sure. It might stop it but I can't say for certain that it will.

My gpu and ram are really new and it could also be because of the hdd

Even windows could be a problem yeah before you try to swap mobo, swapping mobo is like the least resort to problems or even CPU so check other stuff first.

I have reinstalled windows and it’s the same, I hav an old hdd and no ssd so that could also be the problem or I thought it could be the psu

Not really a PSU problem might be HDD. What PSU model is that?

evga 650 GQ

Yeah that Psu should be enough with wattage and quality.
