Hi

I'm having a real issue with my PC, and I am a bit of a newbie when it comes to it.

I bought a gaming PC using part picker and the thing seems to under-perform, when it shouldn't (at least I think it shouldn't)

The setup:
GPU - Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 ti G1 Gaming 6gb
CPU - AMD FX 8320
Mobo - Gigabyte 970A-DS3P rev.1001
PSU - Novatech 1000 Watt Power Station V2 Black Edition Modular Power Supply 80 PLUS Bronze


Right now, with games like Witcher 3 I only get around 60fps on 1080p ultra (hairworks off)
Where on reviews I read, which convinced me to get the GPU, the benchmarked fps is around 119 average - http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/84284-gigabyte-geforce-gtx-980-ti-g1-gaming/?page=11

CS:GO (720p) I get average 300 fps (I know that's good, but shouldn't I be able to achieve more?)


Can anyone help me find a problem, is it bottle-necking?

SOlved. Buy intel i5 or overclock your 8320 to max with proper cooling. Should have posted your build on toms earlier , people would have corrected your build early .

The guy in your link is using core i7 4770k overclocked to 4.4 ghz. You are using an 8320 at stock speeds.
Just in case open your resource monitor and right click on the processor chart , change graph to logical processors to view each core utilization and play the game and then alt tab and note the cpu utilization and report that.

Upon inspection, I have noticed that 4 of my 8 cores are parked....I'll try unpark them, see if it makes any difference.
I have to run to my friends house to help out with somethings, no idea how long i'll be. If no reply within the next hour, I will be active tomorrow 10am GMT

Don't need you to check cpu usage to tell you that yes, you're definitely hitting a bottleneck. A 980 ti is strong enough to get 90-100 FPS on ultra at 2560x1440 [personal experience], so you should definitely be able to get more at 1080p.

Is there a gtx 980 ti in that list? I don't see one? I could be missing it.

My old gtx 780 classifieds performed about equally to a pair of 980s, running avg of 70-80 fps on avg, which is about 80-100% scaling.

A single gtx 980 ti in my computer performed better than 2 of those. Two of them on ultra run at 140+ fps. This isn't opinion, this is fact of performance, as run on my PC at stock settings on a [single, and then pair of] msi GTX 980 ti Gaming 6g cards.
