I'd make sure it has the latest bios, first & foremost.. What version Windows?

Only a HDD and no SSD,DDR3 mem for a CPU made for DDR4,windows 7 while microsoft went ahead to only give proper support to newer chips in win10.

Still it would help to give us a concrete example of how many fps you get in a certain game/settings.

Also make sure to disable any and all power saving features from the bios ,nvidia control panel and from windows control panel,just to make sure everything runs at full power.

Post some numbers here please. The latest 3dmark with individual scores. I know you have posted things elsewhere, but it would be easier to see numbers in this thread.

CPU core an Video temps under load from hw info would be helpful too.

Try without the USB part of the headset.

Have you tried gaming without your "Kingston HyperX Cloud II 7.1 Channel" Headset?

I'm asking this because they seem to feature an onboard sound card and your issue may be related to dpc latency and I've also found this:

... DDR3 mem for a CPU made for DDR4 ...

The skylake CPUs supports both DDR3 and DDR4. This means that it's made for both DDR3 and DDR4. It's up to the motherboard manufacturers to chose which one.

PSU PSU PSU.

You need to check your powersupply first.

PSU having fluctuation voltage to rails or having high ripple can cause this.

I'd suspect a lot of this myself.

The PSU could be a factor, but would doubt it, that EVGA normally is pretty solid from everything I've seen.

Just a lot of variables to consider there.

Skylake with DDR3?? Why? Also, a build in 2016 with no SSD is not a high performance PC.

DDR4 would have been ideal but,
It shouldn't make that much of a difference at stock compared to ddr4 2133.

I think that a missing OS SSD will set you back more performance wise than ddr3 1866.

Either OP is facing some serious problem with its new system or, simply, his expectations are too high and it's normal operation.
