It can be anything from processor overheating or your power supply not being enough for your cpu or it can even be the ram. I don't see any reason your cpu would bottleneck or cause freezes. Which brand is the psu? It could be the ram aswell.
Try Prime95 stress test on cpu and ram and also monitor the temps from HWmonitor

I don't think so its a CPU bottleneck. Since any i5 would work 100% efficient for most games at high settings. it could be related to overheating of CPU and GPU.
Share some screenshot of temperatures. Use MSI Afterburner and monitor GPU/CPU usage and temperature while gaming.

Of course, PSU factor cannot be ignorable after all. A weak PSU could Shrink gaming Performance, can result in sudden fps drop. But PSU verifying should be your last priority. For now you should diagnose CPU and GPU thermal performance.

Give us max possible details so we can help you earliest.

saw ur results n ur screen shots
Ur CPU is throttling due to over heating
Use some better CPU cooler and check if the its properly installed or not
100°C is quote high for a stock CPU
u dont need a new cpu cooler, ur current cpu cooler is not properly installed or some thing else is messing with it
stock cpu cooler can easily keep a processor fairly cool

Ahhhh! its purely CPU overheating issue. Your CPU should not exceed 70C, if i assumed you are at Stock Intel Cooler.
Reapply a fresh paste (Quality Thermal paste recommended), use Pee drop on chip or spread to equate and reseat your CPU cooler properly. I am sure you will see the difference.

If you're confused on proper installation, see below screenshots and follow





In case you go with Aftermarket CPU Cooler, it will cost you extra bucks but handy in long run especially in Summer season. However, For now Intel Stock is fine for your need considering the Cold environment. Lowest Ambient.
