For the past 2/3 weeks i been experience a frame rate drops on couple of games such as Overwatch, Cities Skylines and Saints Row 4. When I launch for example Overwatch for first 20 minutes everything runs pretty smooth but after 20 minutes i am starting to get frame rate drops. It takes usually couple of minutes before frame rate goes back to normal. But then later frame rate instantly drops again.
I am not really sure if this true but.. can latest Windows 10 update be all behind this?
ntivirus program takes too many resources from time to time?

[/b]Whats your RAM?
I would check your task manager to see if anything is eating all your RAM while you're playing,
Cities: Skylines is definitely a RAM intensive game, when looking at RAM make sure you have 8gb or more (frequency speed doesn't matter, barely changes the effect of the RAM on the system) and make sure it is DDR3 or DDR4.
Obviously, I know that you have a laptop so that doesn't apply to you but the RAM intensive games obviously do so that's a factor that causes FPS drops.
Thermal Throttling perhaps

I don't see anything that eats a lot of ram.

Yeah I agree
I'd check your thermals and look inside your case to make sure all your fans are working

Especially in a laptop
Might be your processor getting overheated. try putting some new cooling paste on the processor and check if your fan is still working as it should be

Nah this isn't really neccessary. Not only has DDR5 not been released yet, but DDR3 is fine too lol
