Hi guys, so i just built a pc all by myself with the ff specs:

 

P.S It's a non-overclock setup

 

Windows 10 64bit

Intel i5 7600

MSI h270 Tomahawk arctic

MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X

G Skill Ripjaws V 2x 8gb = 16gb

2 tb seagate barracuda

1 samsung evo 250gb ssd

Seasonic M12II Evo, 620watts,
 
So far, everything has been working fine until when i play games like csgo, witcher 3, rise of the tomb raider and overwatch, I seem to have a problem alt-tabbing because when i do, it takes almost forever to tab back to desktop, and sometimes, it never does until i tab back in the game. And when i say forever, i mean like 1-2 mins, and i know thats unusual. It's not the alt-tabbing thats an issue too, its also the boot up, it takes a bit longer also to start up the game, at about 30-45 secs. Still, back when i had my old rog g750 gaming laptop, i never had problems with alt tabbing and now with a more powerful pc, suddenly this happens, so guys please help me out here. 
 
I've just about tried everything i know, from updating nvidia gpu drivers, direct x, nvidia control panel and even tweaking some windows settings to make pc faster but still nothing. 
 
I'd appreciate any help

some games aren't designed for alt-tab.  You can try running them in windows mode.  Most modern games for the pc include options in the display settings for fullscreen.  Try seeing what the options are listed.  You can try window mode or borderless (prefered).  Borderless is windowed mode without borders.  Looks like a full screen, but gives you faster response when alt-tab.
