I recently purchased Advanced Warfare on Steam, but unfortunately I am having some serious issues with it.
My specs are as follows:
FX 8350@4Ghz
R9 290@1Ghz
8GB DDR3 @1600Mhz
SSD Samsung 840 EVO

I am trying to run the game at 1080p, but I am not able to run it on low or high settings.
I use MSI Afterburner, and I noticed that my page file usage went up to 15GB when playing Advanced Warfare. Since the page file is on my SSD (system managed) my SSD usage was at 100% and was doing reading/writing at around 50MB/s. I also had many CPU spikes (up to 100%) throughout the menu and game play, but it usually stayed at around 50%.
After starting the game and getting into the menu the game would often freeze, and hang around 24fps or 45fps. The CPU usage would stay at 100% for about 20 seconds, before dropping back to it's usual usage.

The CPU Idles at around 24 degrees, and under full load it stays around 40 degrees.
Temps via Core Temp, Prime95 was the load tool used.
The GPU Idles at around 35 degrees, and under full load it stays at around 72 degrees.
Temps via MSI Afterburner, FurMark GPU Stress Test was the load tool used.
