Hello all, after looking through countless forum posts on this website, the questions people are asking are not exactly specific enough for me. In case i did miss a post that is very relevant to my situation, feel free to post in in the answers.

So I have had my PC for approximately a year now and i am very happy with it. One thing that i have noticed over time in games is that i am not running at a desired FPS. Now you may think that all i have to do is lower the settings and i should be able to play, and that does infact work but I don't know if i am being particularly picky or not but i would like to be able to run on high or max settings in games at a smooth and stable FPS. I searched up videos and forum posts on this issue specifically for the AMD FX-8350 and the Asus GTX 770 but none of them have helped. I just want some help in determining if my parts are not working properly and if something is slowing them down resulting in slow FPS or if my Graphics Card and CPU combination is just not made for the heavy loads that current and future games put on them.

Basically, i would like to understand if my current CPU GPU setup is either not working properly (being bottlenecked) or if i just need to switch one of the parts out for something better.

Games that i have trouble running include obviously: Assassins Creed: Black Flag, Watch Dogs, Battlefield 4, and probably a lot of other games coming out in the near future.
And also surprisingly: Borderlands 2.

Parts inside of PC currently:

RAM: Kingston HyperX 16GB
CPU: AMD FX 8350
GPU: Asus Geforce GTX 770 2GB
MoBo: ASRock 970 Extreme3
PSU: Corsair something Series TX850 W
Monitor (i don't know if it matters): AOC 23" 1920 x 1080 connected through HDMI cable.

I appreciate anyone willing to respond. Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
GTX770 is fine, even 2GB version. I would not change a thing atm, maybe in couple of months when R9 3xx arrives GTX970 will drop in price then upgrade.

so are you saying to just get a new graphics card, specifically a 970 and thats it. my cpu cooler is pretty good right now so from what you are saying, the gpu is all i need to get?

 
LuKY_ShotzZ - I'd follow Undying89s advice. As I said, GTX 770 is force to be reckoned with, the only "feelable" upgrade is GTX 970, and You prolly won't even feel it at fhd resolution.

If You have a good CPU cooler, You can OC Your AMD to some higher levels, and feed virtually anything You want within next 6 months, well, besides dual GPU beasts, etcetera.
