So i built a computer over the last couple months for high end gaming and for streaming and for what i have in the computer it feels like its not performing the way that it should be on some things like guild wars 2, battlefield 4,and star wars the old republic and others. I don't know what to make of it, but the list as follows is whats in it. Any input would be great!

motherboard--ASUS M5A99X EVO AMD 990X AM3+
CPU---AMD FX-8350 4GHz
Video card--EVGA GeForce GTX 770
Storage---256 SSD and 1TB HDD
Ram--Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x 4GB), PC3-12800, DDR3-1600MHz, 9-9-9-24 CAS Latency, Intel XMP Ready, Unbuffered
Ram--Corsair Vengeance 8GB Desktop Memory Module - DDR3, 240 Pin, DIMM, 1.5V, PC3-12800, 1600MHz, XMP Ready
Power supply-- 700W
Operating system--windows 7 home premium sp1

Yea its windows 7 64 bit and for resolution its at 1360x768 for battlefield 4 setting on have had settings on medium through ultra and in combat fps usually jumps around between 40-60 alot for swtor same resolution as battlefield and the settings are on high besides shadows when i actually start doing anything from pvp to raiding it drops to about 20-30fps from around 60-80 in the city and with random "pauses" here and there same for guild wars 2 everything on high besides shadows and when actually doing something it jumps around alot from like 25-50.

As my computer hardware goes though would'nt you say that it should have no problem playing these games on top settings and give 60+ fps in any of them even when streaming or close to

launch a game and monitor CPU and GPU usage with HWinfo...check where is the bottleneck..there should be none with such a system...i use the FX-8320 and GTX 780 and i get at least twice the framerates you seem to get and i game at 1080p...

Ok so here are the ones you want to pay attention to while gaming (launch HWinfo and play your game normaly it will record for you the lowest, highest and average for all the temps and clock speed and usage from HDD to SSD to graphics card to CPU and what not...its FANTASTIC tool) :

CPU USAGE:

GPU DIRECT3D USAGE:
GPU_USAGE.png


CPU should not run at 100%, NO CORE ALONE should get an average above say 90%, they sometimes will fill to 100% this should be okay but the average on each core should be anything bellow 85 or 90%...if after 10 minutes a core is at 95% or 98% it can point a CPU bottleneck because this core is most likely filled at 100% most of the time...

GPU usage in the best scenario possible will be around 98% peak and average at around 95%...this is a good sign it means the GPU gets feed all it can handle and this is what you want...

OH and make sure you disable VSYNC for testing this...

So did a test with monitor up and running with vsync off in game and in nvidia control panel cpu was fine mostly around 60% whole time and not even all cores only went up to +90% when the game was loading up and that was only for about 2 seconds the gpu d3d usage was average about 41% i would post a pic of both cpu and gpu but im rather new to forums in general and dont knnow how to though i made a snip it of both of them
