I decided to upgrade my GPU and CPU, and I'm getting worst performance than before. Other then my utterly weak motherboard I can't see why my performance in some games went up and down in games like cs go. My Cs go went from 170 fps steady to 60-150 fps but Overwatch went from 70 fps to 160 fps. Are my parts bad for cs go or something else...

Old specs:

Extreme Power Plus 550W
Windows 10 64-bit

Actually the FX is still better than your Phenom II by a nice amount. You currently have two issues however:

1.- Your mobo doesn't officially support the FX-8300 as seen here: http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/N68-VS3%20FX/?cat=CPU

It may be a 95w CPU but your mobo doesn't have enough VRMs to handle those 8 cores so your CPU is not running at its full potential.

2.- CSGO specifically is very CPU intensive (blame Valve's bad Source engine optimization), that's why Overwatch is running much better, its better optimized and relies more on the GPU.

Your performance on Overwatch and other games would be better if you solve your mobo issue, you should get 200-250 fps stable on CSGO once that's taken care of.

However at this point you...

However at this point you should consider switching to an intel build, an i5 will do so much better than any AMD offering (at least until Ryzen comes out and delivers what promises), if you can return that FX-8300 go ahead and switch over to Intel.
