Lag spiking hardware issue:?

Did make a topic. I've been lag spiking for atleast 4-5 months now and it has been driving me CRAZY. my rig is:

i7 4790

GTX 960 2GB

8GB RAM ddr3 single channel.

 

I play games like H1z1, GTA5:O, War Thunder and Mafia 3. Few minutes into gameplay I start to fucking lag. My GPU usage drops down to 0% and my CPU slightly drops. After that it jumps back to normal then starts lagging again. I've reformatted my hardrive, upgraded cpu to that current i7, updated nvidia drivers, refitted my Graphics card, cleaned the dust from my case and turned off hyper-threading. When I had my i3 with this 960 the lag spiking was still occurring so I upgrade to an i7, and it's still going on.Could the graphics card be failing, it's not even a year old. I got it fitted in around January. I've made a post of so many forums and no one could solve my issue. My CPU and GPU temps are around 50-60. If this problem does not get resolved, I might just sell my PC and get a console, and I'm not even joking I've had enough I've spent over 600$ on this rig.

those are some pretty cpu intensive games. I would think that your gpu is bottlenecking it?

I'm not sure I see people with the same spec as me running games smoothly around 50-80 FPS. Can a GPU really bottleneck (sorry a-bit of a noob to this)

what resolution do you play at?

GTA 5 can require over 2GB at 1080p
