This is my first time asking for help so forgive me if I don't say something important just ask and I'll put it up.
As the title says I'm having difficulty figuring out why my pc is underperforming while playing games in general games like,
FPS 1080P
fallout 4 maxed out settings in some areas it can go down to about 35 but usually at 55-70
cpu at 70% load and 42 celsius
gpu at about 50% load and 65 celsius
arma 3 about 20-30 on maxed out
day z 30-40
dungeon defenders 35- 55
and more
as for my parts i have a gtx 1080 pny , AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera, HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1866 and G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1866 , MSI 970A-G46 (motherboard), Western Digital Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache , ZALMAN CNPS10X OPTIMA 120mm FSB (heatsink), CORSAIR CX series CX750 750W 80 PLUS BRONZE (power supply)
I run windows 10, I have tried to update my bios but it's not supported anymore so can't do that , I also tried to do a clean instal of the gtx 1080 drives but it didn't help, i have used heaven DX 11 benchmark to test to see if it was somehow a faulty card but it runs that at a min of 85-115 max while on max settings I have also noticed while playing fallout 4 my hdd sometimes it gets to 100% usage.
If you need more info I will help the best I can, and any help to my problem would be greatly appreciated thank you in advanced.
update 7/14 ok thank you all for answers I see that i should update my cpu and motherboard as it is about 4 years old now what would you recommend me getting like a 6(virtual12) core intel like the Intel Core i7-3930K Hexa-Core Processor 3.2 or something less also what kind of motherboard should i get also if i were to upgrade.
