I recently built my first Gaming PC, and there are certain games that run EXTREMELY slow.

The specs on my build are as follows:
CPU- AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
RAM- G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
GPU- Sapphire Radeon R9 270x 2GB
Motherboard- Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Micro ATX AM3+
Storage- Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
Case- Corsair 200R Mid Tower
PSU- EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified

I've only downloaded a few games so far (My internet connection is very slow), which are: AdVenture Capitalist, Gang Beasts, The Stanley Parable, Poker Night at the Inventory, and Minecraft(only non-steam game).

AdVenture Capitalist, The Stanley Parable and Minecraft are working fine. I was able to get Minecraft to run at 60 FPS at normal settings. But, when I tried running Poker Night at the Inventory, I got roughly 10-20 FPS on the menu screen and in-game. Gang Beasts was even worse, with only 1-5 FPS on the start screen. All my drivers are up to date. If anyone has any suggestions on how to help me, that would be much appreciated.
