I have obviously done something wrong in my build, but i cant figure out why.
CPU: AMD FX-4300 quad core at 3.8ghz
GPU: NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 660ti 2gb
and 8gb of ram.

SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO FIX THIS
 
Solution


yea i would recommend getting a fx6300 at the least or an fx8350 they will fit into the same motherboard since they are on the same socket so you should be fine :)

What games are you trying to play because you have quite a weak processor that is bottlenecking your gpu

I think I'll upgrade to an AMD FX-8350, i've read a lot of great reviews on that chip. you think that would take care of the problem? I'm crazy new at building and/or upgrading PCs

Yeah i heard some awesome things about it, and i was thinking of upgrading my gpu, but it really doesn't need it just yet.

its a 650w, should be plenty, if not i can buy a more powerful one no problem. i have a liquid cpu cooling system in my build as well, so that shouldnt be too much of a bother
