Hi guys,

I need a little advise here, I am new to pc building and built my first recently. My specs are:

AMD Athlon X4 860K 3.7GHz Quad-Core Processor
ASRock FM2A88M PRO3+ Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB
(1 x 8GB) DDR3-1333 Memory
Sandisk SSD PLUS 240GB

I play CS:GO mainly so I was hoping to get decent performance on this. However on low settings I get average around 120-140 fps on the 'simpler' maps but on some of the newer maps I get as low as 80 fps. Also, in the last few weeks I have been experiencing lag spikes where my fps will suddenly drop causing my game to jolt (this is usually when in a fire fight with other players).

I've tried playing about with the settings, nothing really helps. I usually play on 1920x1080 res but even if I drop it to 800x600, the fps stays the same.

Is this normal on my specs or should it be better? Any help is much appreciated! :)

These framerates are expected. Given that a drop in resolution does not net more FPS, the GPU is not the fault which limits the system, it is the CPU doing draw calls.
This is known as a CPU bottleneck where the CPU is unable to hit even higher framerates. The new CS:GO maps are more detailed which require more draw calls, and bullet trajectory will also take its toll on the CPU. Given the low single threaded performance of the FX CPUs ( even lower for its Athlon Steamroller brethren with lower clocks), you should not expect framerates to be as high as what you would see on an Intel based build.

120-140FPS max is expected.

Turn down shadows, lighting effects and quality. These are CPU intensive tasks. A good single thread CPU would...

Play in rooms with fewer players, that would help.
