GPU temps are usually at 40's to 50's with the cooler. Do think its the cooler?

Maybe check the temps, and if they are fine, use DDU to remove display drivers and install latest video drivers.

No real bottleneck by specs...

Maybe CPU or GPU cooler pump has died, don't know, just speculation. HWinfo64 is a good program to check all temperatures under a full load.

Very balanced rig, so nothing jumps out as obvious. If you haven't done any preventative maintenance on your PC, you may now be noticing the effects. The easiest is to check temps and clean the PC of dust with compressed air. 

Fuck you scalpers, fuck you scammers, fuck all of you jerks that charge way too much to tech-illiterate people. 

Unless I say I am speaking from experience or can confirm my expertise, assume it is an educated guess.

Current setup: Ryzen 5 3600, MSI MPG B550, 2x8GB DDR4-3200, RX 5600 XT (+120 core, +320 Mem), 1TB WD SN550, 1TB Team MP33, 2TB Seagate Barracuda Compute, 500GB Samsung 860 Evo, Corsair 4000D Airflow, 650W 80+ Gold. Razer peripherals. 

Also have a Alienware Alpha R1: i3-4170T, GTX 860M (≈ a 750 Ti). 2x4GB DDR3L-1600, Crucial MX500

Personally, CPU below 70 C is okay, 80 is okay if I am at 100 percent load (such as with Handbrake) but under 55 C is my target, especially since you are on a watercooler. 

 

But even if you temps are good, if you haven't done preventative maintenance in at least a year I would just go ahead and do it now so you don't get a bigger headache later. Just good practice. 

 

Okay, I am at 80 C on the wraith stealth on my 3600, 80C would be unacceptable on most AIOs, unless it was a low quality 120mm one. 

Fuck you scalpers, fuck you scammers, fuck all of you jerks that charge way too much to tech-illiterate people.

sorry for asking so much questions what can cause stuttering and lagging on frame rate?

Do you mean that you have 2 8 gigabyte sticks or do you mean you have 8 gigabytes of ram? If you have 16 gigabytes, it's completely fine, but if you only have 8, then you should probably upgrade to 16.

SO MUCH STUFF can cause stutter and lag. I couldn't list them all here because a) I don't have time for that, and b) I would be editing my post over the next hour as I think of even more causes. 

 

If I can narrow down an unhappy playing experience to my hardware, and not another piece of software, my GPU settings/OC, or my game settings, I tend to just take everything apart (except for sometimes the CPU cooler and case fans obviously) and build it back up myself. But that is probably because I want a good reason to take down and build a PC because I find it a very enjoyable hobby. 

Fuck you scalpers, fuck you scammers, fuck all of you jerks that charge way too much to tech-illiterate people.

I have a watercooler on the CPU and GPU is that probably why I'm having problems?

No clue, check your temperatures for both and report back. I have far too little information for me to give you a fix.

My graphics card is running at 50 Celsius and my CPU is hitting 66 degrees Celsius then it starts jumping around.

Jumpy CPU temps is totally normal. At this point you just haven't provided enough info, and I got to go to work soon, so sorry for not being to help you.

Stuttering issues that were not present prior doesn't mean there's a bottleneck.
