I recently upgraded my processor from a AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE to a AMD FX 8350 and now i have sudden fps drop.

What could be the cause of this?

PC Specs:

CPU: AMD FX 8350
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 660
Motherboard: ASROCK 960GM-U3S3 FX
SSD: OCZ Vertex 2
HDD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda
Case: Thermake Armour A90
Cooling: Corsair H80i
 
Solution
That motherboard does not support the FX 8350. It only shows up to 95w FX series CPU support through the FX 8300. The 8350 is a 125w+ CPU and will draw a LOT of power at full load. The limiting factor may be that your board cannot supply the CPU with enough current for it to operate at full speed.
