My system details
CPU: AMD A8-5600K quad core 3,9 GHz
GPU: GTX 970 G1 Gaming Windforce (running in a pci-expres 2.0 slot if that matters)
RAM: 8 GB Dual Channel HyperX
MOBO: msi fm2-a75ia-e53
harddrive 1: some old harddrive i cant remember the name of
harddrive 2: 1 TB SSHD (with overwatch installed on it)
i also recently upgraded from an gtx 950 strix to the gtx 970 windforce i have now (only 3 days ago)

now from my experience this kind of hardware should be able to run overwatch at high with ease but it simply just doesn´t (the game runs at 30-80 fps most dipping in the lower numbers which i find unplayable)

please help, i would appreciate it.
yes i know im bad at the grammer but just bear with me :))

I am able to play Overwatch at constant 60fps @ 1080 /60Hz on Ultra with a GTX660, far less powerful than the 970. However, my CPU is an i7-950. That's more powerful by far than an AMD A8.

An A10 model APU would be an upgrade for you, but that platform is near end-of-life and will not provide you with much future-proofing.

An upgrade to a Skylake system will give you several more years of service than the AMD APU platform you're currently using. You would be able...
