Hi,
recently I updated my system (just some components)
I had:
i3 540, HD 6850, 8gb ram
now I bought:
amd a8 7670k, r9 280x, 4gb ram, (had to sell the other 4), 550W SAGA PSU
I am frustrated how it performs in games. In advanced warfare the game shutters. In dying light I get only around 30 fps on max settings, on metal gear phantom pain I was getting 45-50 (was actually good). Yesterday I added a new stick of ram which was again kingston but not hyperX like mine. I didn't notice they have different voltage. They didn't go well together, the PC started to perform even worse. In metal gear I had like 28fps from the moment I insterted it. After that I removed my that RAM and just tried to stay with the same old 4gigs hyperX. The performance was the same.SOME GAMES EVEN REFUSED TO LAUNCH AFTER THAT. Did my new RAM affected the performance and how. Also I don't know what to do for real please someone help I need advice....

Ok lets start.
4GB RAM is less than nothing. 16GB are the non-official minimum requirements and you have to turn down some video settings for 60FPS gaming with this graphic card. Adnvaced Warfare need 16GB RAM without Cache Sun and Shadows on and no Fill remain memory which needs high VRAM(GPU), that things need at least 24GB to be on from my experience in games (since 1991).
You may have parked CPU cores or you didn't setup run > msconfig > boot tab > advanced options CPU and RAM amount. This results to bad performance because the CPU cores are not registered.
Adding not the same RAM type which you have already in your PC is also a performance ruiner and can create allot trouble but not so often.
Be sure that...

Im not fully smart in pc specs but... that cpu might not be the best. If you have a lot of apps going on pc whle gaming 4gb is not enough. Heavy web browsing eats up ram.

However letsomeone else smarter help you out

Be sure that you RAM sticks working dual channel. That one pair sticks are in slot 1 and 3 and the second pair in 2 and 4 on your motherboard. If not, there is a huge performance drop in many programs/games.
This optimizations solves many performance issues that you might have. Tell me what of that is not right in your PC and i will help you to fix it.

-Check whether the CPU is registered to run for the game application (there are many sources online showing how to do this)
-Upgrade your RAM (if you are interested in gaming 4GB RAM IS NOT ENOUGH, buy another pair of RAM that are identically the same (if the RAM DIMMs are sold in a kit, no problem letting them run dual channel)
-Check again, should help
