OK now the problem...
Ive been experiencing very low fps in all games listed above
I know there is a slight bottleneck but not to cause 30max fps in skyrim mostly 20 average in skyrim. I get about 25-50 in Borderlands 2 I do dip down to 10 or even 5 in borderlands 2. borderlands is just all around BLAH..
Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 which runs better then all of them with 35-70fps.
Ive had this build before but different mobo. except it was the phenon II x4 965.. but if I unlock this processor and overclock it its better then the 965. its go a stable 4th core with overclock of 3.9ghz. stable ran prime 95 for 16 hours.

So I need to get a second set of eyes on this... Ive tried every grahpics driver rom 314.22 - 327.23. doesn't make a difference..
Tried formatting my hard drive and installing all drivers again.
Nothing. Same thing.
Tested my graphics card to see if it was starting to go bad...
It tested just fine with me fiddling with clocks to see if the load would correspond as it should and it did.
Ive tried everything that I could think of....
So please if you could think of anything would be GREAT.
Just ask and I will answer if ive tried or haven't tried :D ty ahead of time.

since you o/c your cpu i imagine you have the cool n quiet function off in the bios settings? did this build ever run right if so what did you change? also how old is that PSU of yours?

Cool/n/quiet function turns off by itself but yes I checked it. No the mobo is new. ive had this cpu/gfxcard combo before.. psu is about year and a half and voltage tests for inaccuracy turned out good so nothing wrong with it. I was thinking that it might have been dirty power but its not. Im starting to think mobo might be bad.
