I have a gtx 970 with sc (no oc) and a amd fx 8320. i am getting horrible frames in easy to run games like payday 2, cs go, minecraft, dead island, and etc. And usually i would get above 100fps in all of these game now i get 20 to 5 fps. I didn't upgrade recently or anything. But i did reapply some thermal paste on the CPU but this was happening before and after i did that. When i restart my PC it goes back to normal for about a minute or two then it drops be down to 20 fps making it completely unplayable for even when i try to run at the lowest settings. And I have notice if i went on webpages such as skyrim nexus it lags horrible as well. I tryed reinstalling the drivers/graphics card and i notice was i uninstall the graphics the webpage was moving smooth again but as soon as i reinstall them lags horribly again. So can somebody help me or give me some advice as soon as possible please.
Framerate drops lower then usually can you please help me?

What version of windows and what driver versions are you running? What programs do you have running in the background (anything new?)
Are you playing online or offline when this occurs?

60s and 70s aren't great but aren't terrible for that GPU. It will go to 89 before throttling. I'd say look at your CPU temps stat.

That's your problem right there - AMD says the max load temp for the FX 8320 is 61.1 C and you're 10% over that on idle. What kind of thermal paste did you use/cooler?

Low 60s idle is still bad. I would expect it to be 45-50 under load. I'd try removing (and cleaning) the proc and the cooler and re-applying the paste.

Hm, tricky one this is. Those temps are much better.
Do you have experience using the Windows resource monitor? (Task Manager -> Performance tab -> "Open Resource Monitor" link)
It can show you really time graphs of what system resources are being used so you can find the contention (i.e., is all your RAM being used, or 100% CPU, or such). It won't show GPU, but it's a start.
What you would do with it is open it and let it start monitoring, then run the game and, after you hit a spate of 20 FPS performance for a bit, Alt+Tab out of the game back to the resource monitor to see what's being consumed.
