The FX-X1XX series are all poor gaming cpu's so it will bottleneck that GPU in games that use the cpu alot. But my biggest concern is the PSU. The TR2's are very very poor power supplies to the point where they are a danger to other parts in the system. I would start by replacing it with a better PSU then look at upgrading to a 8320 or 8350(if your motherboard supports it).
. But, yeah first off the PSU is not that great quality.
