I installed a GTX 770 and for some reason it's FPS does not live up to the fps in reviews, Battlefield drops below 40 oftenly, Team Fortress 2 drops below 30 oftenly and Skyrim drops below 30 as well, I've made sure I uninstalled my previous drivers and installed the GTX 770, Hired a professional to install it so no errors there, I did have to get a new PSU since my old one kept cutting out. If someone knows how to fix this that would be great.

That is the perfect example of CPU bottleneck! The X4 can not keep up with the GTX770, I had to overclock mine to 3.6GHz to keep up with a HD7850 @1080P! Further to that at that low a resolution the games are CPU bound and the 770 sits at almost idle.

Then you are looking at a board upgrade along with the CPU! Something like this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mo27

That warning is over a year old and appears on every 970 board! Every motherboard shipped from manufacturer after Vishera release in OCT 2012 shipped with a compatible BIOS. It would basically be bad luck and a slow moving retailer if you got one with older BIOS now!
