Good hardware but extremely low FPS

I've just recently have gotten a computer which is supposedly gaming computer and with that I got a 144hz monitor to compensate for the good fps I am supposed to get for games such as CS GO. My CPU is the: AMD Athlon X4 860k OC'd to 4.3Ghz and I'm running a MSI GYX 750ti with 8GB of 1600mhz DDR3 ram. I have updated my drivers, tried upgrading the motherboard drivers, I've made sure I'm not using my integrated gpu but my dedicated GPU and I am just very confused on how retarded FPS I'm receiving. At the start of a launch on a 16 man server I receive 200 fps which quite quickly goes down to a 150 and then to a 80 within roughly 5 minutes. This happens to me every single time I join a server and I do not know what could be the cause for it. I haven't fully activated my windows and maybe, not having a "PROPER" Windows is the problem. I'm really getting frustrated with this and any help would be very much appreciated.

The older 650tI is actually a stronger card in general than a 750ti, and the Phenom X4 9650 wasn't exactly a bad cpu either, so it's not surprising, especially in games that don't require major cpu input, that your fps I'd somewhat similar. The 860k is a much stronger cpu, especially with that OC, and is quite capable of handling the much larger gpu's such as a r9 380, rx 480, gtx970 etc. The older Phenom won't handle those.

The 750ti is lowest tier for a gaming gpu. It's newer than the 650ti, but that's all. It has less power requirements and is useful on budget builds. That doesn't make it a better card than the 650ti.

My advice, put the old 650ti in the new build, send the 750ti back, get the rx 480 when it comes out.

You can't...

80fps is pretty appropriate for the hardware you're using. The drop in fps is likely due to your video card limiting itself to keep from overheating. The simplest/cheapest way to kick these graphics back up again would be to pick up an RX 480 at the end of the month.

But I had a pretty crap PC before with an AMD Phenom x4 9650 that ran at 2.3Ghz with a 650ti and 4gb of DDR2 and that ran at 80 - 120. From what I've seen on YouTube with the same specs as mine I should be running roughly at least minimum of 170 FPS.

I never really trust youtube benchmarks.
Regardless of that, you've reached the roof practically, after 60 fps predicting how much you'd get for getting a better PC is almost impossible, because you're BEYOND running the game smoothly, your previous PC was practically just as good as this one when it comes to actually RUNNING the game.
Also, a 650 Ti is not CRAP, at least not when compared to the 750 Ti, the 750 is just newer, performance-wise is extremely similar.

You can't rely on YouTube much. There's many settings that differ in games and it only takes 1 setting difference to change fps greatly. While the specs might be the same, if YouTube dropped shadows to low, viewing distance by 1000, turned off triple buffering etc

I will be definitely trying to put in my 650 Ti and give that a go then, regardless a game such as CS GO is a cup based game from what I've heard and wouldn't my CPU have to have a bigger impact on the end output of the frames I'm receiving. Either way thank you for all of the feedback.

Yes, cs:go is quite cpu dependent, mainly because of the steam connection. My pc gets 290-300fps constantly, but due to stutters, I enabled vsync, so now I get a constant 60fps with everything maxed, which is fine since I have 60Hz monitors.

I would activate windows fully. There have been some issues I had personally after a cpu swap where the only thing affected was that windows score. Prior to swap it was a 7.4, after swap it's now a 7.7. The only reason it's not 7.9 is because windows tells me thaty i7 3770k at 4.6GHz is slow on computational power. Hah, right. Before fixing that I was having some game issues with lower fps. It's probably something in windows power settings that won't enable full cpu power without a genuine certified windows, which won't happen if your copy isn't fully registered.
