Hey guys I'm new to building pc and recently just finished building my first one. My biggest issue is that I get severe FPS drops in every single game I play from WoW, to LoL, Witcher 2, and more. I believe I have updated my drivers correctly but I'm not sure where to check to know if I have done it right. Some information about my comp (again im new to this, let me know if I missed anything):

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690 CPU @ 3.50GHZ 3.50 GHz
Graphic Card: AMD Radeon R9 200 Series
RAM: 8GB
OS: Windows 8

You missed something significantly.
I have 2 AMD Radeon R9 270, but it still shows as an AMD Radeon R9 200 series. You need to locate whether you have a 250, 260, 270, 280, 290 or maybe even a 295x2. Big difference.

No, definitely wrong answer. If he did not install CPU Cooler correct, it would overheat -> Blue screen -> Shut down.
