ok first of all, both components arent the best, especially the fx 6300,if there was a bottlekneck then the fx 6300 would be more likely to bottlekneck the 950, but for the sake of the situation i dont think this is bottlekneck,before you do anything i want to know your full system specs including PSU,HDD etc.

if you think you are getting a bottlekneck now,just wait for the rx 480,even more of a bottlekneck there.Any way i think your gpu is throttling back,the base clock stays the same no matter the situation unless there is something preventing that,run a stress test using unigine valley and tell me what the clocks are for:gpu usage,mem clock,core clock and voltage.I believe it is throttling back but we need to know why,also i will need to know your temps.

telling him/her to use msi to just overclock wont help,the issue is that even on load,the clocks dont go up to regular levels

i know its not a single task tool lol, I use it all day everyday but for someone asking about "gtx 950 overclocking" they are gonna just think you are telling them to overclock

ok well first port of call,id like you to use msi afterburner to create a custom fan curve and use this:
40% fan speed at 40 degrees
50% fan speed at 50 degrees
60% fan speed at 60 degrees
70% fan speed at 70 degrees
100% fan speed at 75 degrees
then during gaming see if the fans ramp up when gaming and also see if the fans spin while idle,also if you have not already,enable MSI afterburner's OSD(on screen display) and look only at temp,fan speed for gpu,mem clock,core clock ONLY. tell me what you see when gaming.
do the clocks stay the same?if so what speed?
do fans ramp up?when?

then....if core clock is 800mhz and mem clock is at 400mhz when gaming, restart your pc and open up msi afterbuner straight away,see what the speeds are when pc is at idle,if it is standard clock speeds then continue watching the graph to see when the clock speeds go down.

If the clock speeds go down then it means your GPU is throttling for an underlying reason,this happened with my 960 and i fixed it a few weeks ago.

if you have set a custom fancurve then you should barely be able to hear the fans as the fans would be running at 40%, for comparison i have set a custom fan curve for my gtx 960 and idle temps sit at 38 degrees,when gaming it is 48 degrees max and i can only hear fans when they go above 60 percent(with headphones off) so im not sure what your fans are up to, If i may ask,what time zone are you on? i was wondering if you would agree to let me take remote control of your PC for maybe an hour to help with your problem,it would help alot if i could see your gpu stats real time when under load. it would save a lot of typing and testing(only if you are okay with it and are free for a couple hours of course)

those idle temps are fine,a 950 will need to reach around 80 degrees before it starts to throttle back,my temps are good because i have made as slightly more agressive fan curve,you may private message me when you have some time to do this :)
