Windows 10: Gaming on windows with many programes installed

Hello,

does installing Microsoft office and Adobe photoshop affect FPS and gaming performance or is it a myth?. of course I don't feel the difference at all using the PC out of gaming but in gaming I don't know if there is a difference.. Should I delete those to squeeze some fps?

Ram is no problem 16g.. I never get to fill it event with 2 AAA games opened at the same time... maybe my question better be: does these programs affect the GPU performance?

:)
