I have finsh building my pc here are the specs

motherboard- FM2A75M-DGS
CPU- amd a6 5400k (oc to 4.2ghz
8gb ram
msi hd 7870

every game i play i get klow fps never above 30

in bf3 i will play on high for about a 1 minute i will get 60+ fps then it will dip into the 10-20 fps for rest of game
even put the settign on low 1280 by 720
goes even lower

in bf4
same thing will play but will never go above 20 fps even on low

my driver for my gpu is 13.9 latest one

if any one has driver recommed for motherboard or gpu tell me have not tried windwos .1 would that help
 
Solution
Your CPU is likely throttling (under-clocking itself on purpose due to heat) because of the 89C temp under load(BF4 in background)

The first thing I would do is to turn your CPU overclock down or off completely. This should make your games playable at least until you can get better cooling/more efficient CPU or both.


Probably not the core issue.

If MSI afterburner has OC tools, it should responsibly have temp readouts(i've never used it) & if not....

You can locate your temps in your BIOS... under something similar to Hardware Monitor

Solution
I can also take my CPU to 4.2 GHz but I choose not to because I value stability over bleeding edge performance. You are asking too much of your CPU at the moment. Your overclock was never proven in the sense that it can not be relied upon at that clock frequency and is actually hindering performance at this point.
