Help! horizontal lines

i've been getting horizontal lines when i play games.
i recently exchange my mobo into a new pc case,psu and graphics card (gtx 460) and when i play a gmea, these faint lines appeared on screen and they are getting annoying. so far i have switched back to my old psu and graphics card and it done the same on that, i'e also switched monitors and cable but i still get those lines with both psu's and graphics cards, need suggestions

If so, enable Vertical Synchronization.

Not really no, it's difficult to say because they move, and are never there for more than a few seconds, but Vsync is enabled, i've tried the in game one, Nvidias one, in all possible combinations and it makes very little difference

I've only noticed it (a tiny bit) in Total war: Attila and Mad Max, and a lot (enough for me to bother trying to fix it) in Assassins creed Black Flag, yeah 2 mins i'll take a photo
