My build is in my signature..Not a greta one but satisfies me...When i was checking some videos online,found some benchmarks..On average if we see my build is kinda equal in perfomrance with the becnchmarkss..But when i check videos showing real fps i see a diferrence of 2-4 fps at the same place with my rig...Is that something normalk and yes the specs of the pc's in which they were ebnnchmarking are far better than mine..those had i7's and ssd's...And when i defragment my hard disk i see the game's files int the slow disk access area..is that a problem??

Your CPU should not bottleneck your video card. You will be fine.

So what's basically the reason for the difference in the fps??

That small difference is probably down to the difference in the CPU's, anyway 2 to 4 fps is not allot lost

Yes, usually more processor intense games would show a difference between an i3 and an i7 running the same graphics card

I have another question here...My card at max should use 150w as it takes 75 watts from the pcie slot and 75 watts through the 6 pin connector...But i have seen the card using beyond 150w,like 153-157 at tmes...I have alreayd created a thred here to know if that reading ws right...A member said thats false info from the software..But now what happens is like i see a difference in my gpu temperature when it goes beyind 150..With in that i would have a temp of 77 or 78 at max..But when it goes beyond 150 the temperature increases by 1 degree...Is the watts usage directly proportional to temp of the card..If so should i ignore the temp increase because of the wrong calculation by the software...And yes i know i can operate card fine upto 90 degrees..And i live in India,the ambient temp is around 40 here..So this is the best load temp i could get with my card with a custom fan profile and a crappy case...

Yes, as the power consumption increases the card will get hotter. The increase in wattage is probably down to inaccurate sensor readings on your motherboard or inaccurate software
