I'd guess the CPU or PSU, but it's kind of hard to tell with the info I have. Can you elaborate on "dropping frames and freezing"?

 

Also, what are your temps?

i know the chances of this being the problem are low but when was the last time you cleared out the temp folder?

My games stutter and stop while im playing but my non online games dont do that. my temps are around 55 on the cpu and 60 on the gpu under load

i doubt that. it's a quad core sandy bridge cpu at about 3 ghz.. 

basically identical to an i5 of the time.

Try reinstalling the games, then Windows.

1. Press the Windows Button + R to open the "Run" dialog box.
2. Enter this text: %temp%
3. Click "OK." This will open your temp folder.
4. Press Ctrl + A to select all.
5. Press "Delete" on your keyboard and click "Yes" to confirm.
6. All temporary files will now be deleted.

i know your thinking this is weird but these folders are all temporary and they go here for you to dump them. if you had your pc for more than a year it will be A LOT  of files, just about everything you run on your pc makes temp files

if you have a bad hard drive with poor speeds or full of content that could  be the problem. I say that to you from my experience.

It not affects frames per second but you could be freeze for a moment if your hard drive is at 100% load

run some games, and open the task manager then click on more details to see your hard drive load and let me know

The drives useage spikes to 100% for about a second then drops too 0% for about a second and it repeats every 30 seconds

I think that could be the problem a SSD could solve it. Or you can also open the task manager and exit the program that is consuming more hard disk workload, sometimes you can´t because they are programs from windows (is a little bit annoying)

maybe woth checking the PSU ? 250W sounds a bit low or maybe even failing.
