I recently built my first computer. The first thing I did once the computer was set up and appeared to be functioning was to play skyrim, since my previous computer never could with more than 20 fps, but even at low settings my new build can't run the game at more than 3 fps.

My specs:
AMD fx-8350 4.0 ghz cpu
Nvidia Geforce GTX 770 gpu
G.skill sniper series 2x4 ram

Why is my build so slow?

Not using any mods, just the original release with no expansions. How can I check for overheating?
