I just saved up some money and bought some upgrades but I'm still getting the same fps on some of my games like cs go and others from around 50~60. Maybe i plugged something in wrong or drives Idk but can anyone help?

PC Specs :
Case: Corsair 230T
Motherboard: MSI 7778 Jasmine
Cpu: A8 5500 Quad Core(Trinity 3.2ghz)
PSU: Corsair cx500
GPU: EVGA GTX 750 TI FTW
Monitor: Asus 144hz VG248QE
Ram: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1600 MT/s
Don't know much about computers but I'm trying to learn! Help !
 
Solution
The APU processors are not high end for gaming and the 750 ti is a great GPU for it not needing much power, but your CPU and GPU bottleneck each other overall. As far as performance goes, neither will win any benchmark wars. They are a perfect match for performance for each other, but you will need more horsepower with a better CPU and GPU to keep up.

How much RAM are you running? That could play into this as well.

How did i forget the Ram.. I am using the Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1600 MT/s. So would I'm guessing I have to get a new motherboard and cpu?

At the risk of stating the relatively obvious.. you did plug the monitor into the video card and not the motherboard? If you plug it into the motherboard directly, you are only using your APU graphics and not your dedicated GPU.
