Ok so let me start off by telling you that I know this is no high end pc but I feel like I should be getting solid performance for most games. maybe you can let me know if im where I should be or something is wrong.

My build

i5 3570k
asrock z77 ex4
Corsair 500watt
7870 sapphire
8 gb corsair mem

So when gaming i don't get the best performance, LoL for example i can run on med at a solid 60 fps but i feel i should be able to max this.

Titanfall i play on lowest settings or i get pretty consistent drops in fps.

Even counter strike GO i cant max or come close to it. what could be wrong?

drivers are up to date the pc is well maintained.

Any troubleshooting ideas or generally anything u know of that might be wrong please let me know.

The pc is not overclocked because i still have stock cooler. Thanks!
