I recently updated my computer for gaming. I purchased a AMD FX 8350 Eight Core Processor which stock clocks at 4.0 Ghz. I have a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 motherboard which I purchased with my processor. I also have a 128 GB SSD which my games are installed on. I have 8 gigs of DDR3 Ram. My problem is that even with this setup I get really low frames on games like Counter Strike Global Offensive. Which to be honest can run on a potato. Any ideas?

troubleshooting steps:
Is it just online games? if yes then concentrate with your internet connection
is the build stable? run any benchmark app then compare it with same setup results
Do you have the latest drivers?
what is your gpu? Gpu plays a big role in gaming

Dumb question but do you have a dedicated Graphics card in there? Integrated graphics are crap and the best integrated graphics can only be found in AMD APU's (Maybe Iris Pro by intel but still, It's weak). A GT630(Recommended Graphics card) might be a potato but it's a whole lot better compared to even the best integrated graphics on gigabyte boards.

I suspect Driver or software problems. Make sure drivers are up to date and the game is up to date. Does it(fps) drop on other games or only on CS:GO?

which 200 series? Im using r7 265 with lower cpu compared to yours(fx 6300) and i can run most if not all in ultra settings and get playable fps (40 to 60fps). I just compensate with the resolution.
If internet is solid then run benchmark and compare it with others with the same build. Make sure you have latest drivers. I used to run heaven app for gpu benchmark and cinebench for cpu. Goodluck!

Try gwapito's suggestion and run benchmarks. Compare the result to the average result other people get. If you are far from that number then you have a problem with your hardware.
