are you playing the same games (and using the same settings) now and before you upgraded?

a few things, check your temps, it may be a temp issue

AGPC · Dec 8, 2013

Settings are the same. my Max temp is 61 with an average of 56.

your gonna need a stronger graphiccard and processor if u want better performance whats ur budget?

AGPC · Dec 8, 2013

i plan on spending $300 max on a new GPU. $100 on a i5 CPU and $60 on a new Mobo.
