Hey, I built a desktop about a year ago and I feel like the performance isn't as it should be, so I was wondering if some of the components I have is dragging some of the others down.
Here's my system:

CPU: INTEL CORE I5 2500K 3.30GHZ 6MB S-1155

GPU: SAPPHIRE RADEON HD7970 3GB PCI-E DVI/HDMI/DP

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD3 DDR3 S-1155 ATX

RAM: CORSAIR 8GB DDR3 VALUE SELECT PC10666 1333MHZ (2x4GB)

Main Harddrive: INTEL 520 SERIES 2.5" 120GB SSD SATA/600 MLC 25NM Bulk

Secondary Harddrive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB

Disk reader: SAMSUNG DVD±R/RW/RAM DL 22X SATA BULK BLACK

Power Source: FRACTAL DESIGN TESLA 650W

Operating system: Windows 7 64-bit (not that it should mather)

Thanks for any answers!

Well it isn't feeling slow, but I feel like the graphics isn't what it should be and i always get a message that my cpu is at 100% when i play almost any game.
Oh, and as a sidenote i gotta add that i am using to screens at the moment.

What kind of fps are you getting on what settings? You can use fraps to find that out if you don't know how. If it is really slow, I would suggest trying driver updates or maybe again a fresh install. Another thing to look at is the GPU temperature to check if it's throttling.

Well after a tiny fix and clean up, i now get between 50 and 60 fps with ultra in BF4 so i am happy with that. But i somehow get only 30 fps in Arma 3, even on standard and low settings, so that confuses me...
my GPU temperature is about 60 to 70 degrees (Celsius) while i'm gaming. So yea now i'm happy with what i get when playing BF4, but really confused about the whole Arma thing.
Oh and thank you for all the quick replies Bob.

Never mind my last problem with Arma 3, found out about the 30 fps cap that VSync puts on in the game, so i turned that off and now i get about 40 fps, so that is fixed.
