I have recently ventured into PC gaming and have built a modest rig at the end of last year.
However i am finding it difficult to play games that i am under the impression my system should run with ease after checking the specification needs for a game.

for example
The Forest
Company of heroes 2
escape from Tarkov

all run incredibly poorly even on the lowest settings

My network is not fast but i am upgrading to Fibre at the end of the month when Open reach upgrade my hub

one final point I am currently using a Samsung 40 inch TV to play on until I can afford a monitor

My hardware is listed below any advice on what to change out or any advice in general would be greatly appreciated.

OS - Windows 10
CPU - Intel Core i7 7700K @ 4.20GHz Kaby Lake 14nm Technology
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB DDR4 3000MHz
Motherboard - Asustek Prime Z270-K
GPU - Nvidia GeForce 1070Ti
Storage - 931GB Seagate ST1000DM010-2EP102 (SATA

thanks in advance for any support, please let me know if any more information is required
 
The game lags consistantly.
For instance every movement is delayed and jumpy.
I have too look around/aim incredibly slow due to the lag.
Tonight on escape from tarkov i would release the movement keys and i would actually stop a second or two later.
 
your pc is pretty decent.
tbh, it sounds like there's a software issue rather than a hardware issue.
i'd look at task manager to see if there's any program that's being a resource hog.

also, if you're playing online games, your internet ping matters, so might be that someone is hogging your internet bandwidth? giving you the rubberbanding effect/slow response?
 
Playing on TVs , there is always lag, specially if you ever selected Game mode . Ends up making it worse for PCs then consoles. Also question of how long your Cable is from. PC to TV , I don't get cables longer then 2m, if I do, I get ones with a booster on it .

TV isn't 4k by any chance and running at max Res ?
 
I think that I would try a fresh install of windows to rule out any software/malware problems because that pc should not be struggling at all. I know it's a lot of hassle doing a fresh install and re-installing the latest drivers etc but it can solve a lot of problems.
 
I have suspected my Harddrive for a while because when i look at task manager it can regularly be hitting 100% with tasks such as superfetch.

My internet is not great atm but i am awaiting fibre hopefully the end of the month when my hub is upgraded.

The tv is not 4k and doesnt have a game mode. But the resolution is massive due to the size of the tv.

I will try the windows install after i upgrade to a SSD

Thanks to everyone for your help ill check back in when ive done the upgrades
Thanks

Seems my suspicions were correct. I'm almost 100% sure its to do with your hard drive, i recommend changing to a ssd with greater capacity, or just invest in 1 HDD and a smaller SSD to save money, and boot from the SSD while keeping everything else on the HDD, and you should be good to go
 
Not trying to insult your intelligence here, but this being your first build, you did make sure that you have the TV connected to the GPU video output and not the motherboard ?
