League of Legends FPS drop issue

Hey guys.

I recently got a new computer and the specs are as follows:

Operating System - Windows 8.1 64-bit
Processor - Intel Core i7-4770 @ 3.4GHz
RAM - 12GB
Video Card - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650

The issue is that on occassion (about every minute or so) the game stutters a little bit for a very short time (1 second~, maybe less). the fps counter stays at 60 but it feels like it drops to about 5 every few minutes for about a second then goes back to being completely normal. It just ruines the fluidity of the game and gets annoying. Does anyone know what I could doto fix the issue? I'm thinking it might be a Windows 8 problem? I have no idea as I'm extremely new to windows 8 still

if anyone could help that'd be awesome!

Update your graphics card drivers from the nvidia website maybe, make sure to set FPS cap in game to "benchmark" or "unlimited" and have v-sync disabled in both in-game options and in nvidia control panel if it stays at 60 after that

Vsync is bad for input lag and can create stutter problems like this in some cases

There's another issue recently that i saw on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1y7bpv/i_know_what_is_causing_the_framerate_issues_riot/

^may give you a big FPS boost (like adding 100+fps) if you have frame capping disabled. If it increases your FPS without a cap, it means frames are getting rendered in less time anyway, so capped FPS would be more stable too - i don't know why you would want to FPS cap on a desktop, though, given some negative effects

4770 should laugh at playing league, i have like 400fps start of game with 4770k and never consciously observed it below 100 even though i have two FPS meters on the game (if it does drop, it's during 5v5 teamfights etc where my focus is elsewhere)
