I am extremely annoyed right now. I used to play games such as Rust and Battlefield 1 at about 50-60 fps on high settings. Now even at low settings my fps is at 20-30. I have completely reset my entire pc, only having to reinstall everything and still get bad FPS. I have installed all graphics drivers, scanned my computer for viruses and unparked my cores. Please help!

My PC is:
AMD FX8350 CPU
Geforce GTX 960 ACX 2.0 GPU
MSI 970 Gaming (motherboard)
8GB Ram
Samsung SSD 850 EVO (500gb SSD)
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (CPU FAN)

When i first assembled it, everything was running very smoothly, but now the fps is so bad, EVEN at LOW SETTINGS.

At this point I'm willing to upgrade parts (such as the graphics card, motherboard, cpu) if it turns out to be a hardware problem. What do you guys think???

 
Solution
It's most likely a cpu fan issue, take it out, remove the thermal paste and reapply, then put the cpu fan back in and you will see a drastic improvement. I know this because I had the issue just 20m ago.
