I have a problem with my recently bought computer. After playing any game for about 20 minutes with good fps at high settings, the screen goes back, and after some seconds the game comes back but runs really choppy. It seems like the computer switches my gpu with the CPU's graphics.

AMD FX 8320
AMD r9 290
8gb RAM
600w
120 SSD
2tb HDD

I run with multiple fans at 45 degrees, and my GPU is not OC

Can anyone help me?

Your CPU does not have integrated graphics.

Download and install MSI afterburner Utility. Run the Utility, note current values for GPU temperature, usage, voltage, fan speed etc.
Start the game and play until the framerate drops. Check all values again - pay attention to the graphs - how the values have changed with time. Significant differences can give some insight of the problem. Card can be overheating or PSU can be not enough on high load.

My power target status was at 100%, my fan was at 84%, my temperature was at 46, my gpu clock was at 904, my memory clock was at 5000, my memory usage was at 0,

my gpu usage was going up and down from 100 to 0, then 100 to 0 and so on. Like spikes

The temperatures look OK. Is this graph similar to you GPU load behavior: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1945060/xfire-...
Possibly this is a PSU problem - the CPU and the Video both require significant wattage. The thread above also suggests such reason for the problem.
What is the your current PSU brand and model?

Yes my gpu load does look like that, and my gpu voltage,m,v is at 0. Max 0 min 0

The Corsair should handle this setup without problem. I do not have other ideas, sorry. If no one here answers better bring the PC to a technician.
