First time building a cpu from scratch, so I have limited knowledge. Put together with only a couple of snags, but runs games super slow. 15-20fps on Skyrims low settings.
 
Solution
Like many MSI gaming series boards yours has a slow mode jumper switch which locks clocks to 1400mhz.

This is situated on the board below the big 24 pin power socket & just above the sys fan 2 fan socket.

Ensure this switch is down to the off position.
