I just recently purchased a PC and I'm getting big frame rate drops in Star Wars the Old Republic and League of Legends, if I'm streaming League, and I was just wondering what could be causing it?

My System:
XFX R9 280 3 gb
AMD 8320fx
8gb 1600 mhz RAM
ASrock 990fx extreme3 mobo
Intel LAN PCI card
Rosewill wireless PCI card

My system has updated Drivers and CPU/GPU rarely get over 60 Degrees Celsius.

Streaming while gaming does put extra workload on your graphics card. I would highly recommend that you use your main PC for gaming and then sending the video to a 2nd PC for streaming. This is how Clutch Arena in Denver streams and it is a very nice high quality stream all the time.

Thank you very much for the answer. I guess I just thought I could do a little more than my system would let me. I'm still a PC noob forgive me, recently started delving from console to pc.
