I currently have very strong FPS drops and still images. (144 FPS at a time only 20 and still image.) Is it due to my SSD or my 1070 ti aero msi? I have my games on my SSD (WD-Green 240 GB 30 GB still free). It shouldn't be my CPU because it has never had any problems and the temp is perfect. Or could it also be my RAM? (see below). I have to upgrade before next month, but I don't know what first thing. GPU? SSD? Or RAM?
(I have the problems in Warzone and Fortnite), I have set all settings to low, and have already downloaded all driver updates.
My specs: 1070 ti aero msi (80-87 degrees in-game, 50% utilization), ryzen 5 2600 (the temps are low, and the load too), 240 GB SSD, 1TB HDD, b450 m Steel Legend, 16 GB RAM ddr4 2666mhz
The hangers you describe are unusual and have nothing to do with your general performance.
I would exclude RAM. You have enough 16 GB + 8 GB VRAM. And when RAM is defective, it results in crashes rather than lags.
Defective SSD or faulty board drivers, yes, they can cause unsightly lags if the data can't migrate to the RAM in time.
Have a look in the Windows Event Viewer, under Windows "System" log. Search there for events from the source "Disk". If any should appear, this is an indication of SSD damage.
