Unable to find out where my problem is coming from by the benchmark

I have replaced my memory, graphics card, CPU, power supply. When I run a benchmark the graphics card is showing way lower than average.

While playing games my FPS spike and drop a lot. As mentioned before, I've replaced different pieces thinking they were bottlenecking the others. Is this a sign of a bad GPU or is something possibly bottlenecking the GPU?

Only shows that color distortion when I access the internet. Nowhere else.

Both of those CPU's aren't going to cut it for gaming... A budget Intel core i3 would outperform those processors in single/quad core performance my man.

It's time to upgrade your processor if you want to play recent games with decent quality textures etc. Check what motherboard you have (Windows button + R and type msinfo32) if its not on there you can use CPU-Z (http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html) to identify the motherboard. You can check online which processors are compatible with your mobo.

You can also have a look on here for cpu benchmarks... It will give you an idea of overall performance, price, value for money etc and you can compare with your current CPU for an idea of how much performance you will gain...

Could you tell us what other CPU's you have tried please? Also have you been temperature monitoring with a program like HWmonitor to make sure the components are not overheating and throttling.

You'll probably never get a great 3D score as the AMD FX-8350 Eight-Cores single core and even quad core performance isn't really that good. I would heavily recommend changing CPU permanently regardless. I think that may indeed be your biggest problem.

Monitor temps and CPU, GPU usage with HWmonitor while playing games and get back to us.

edit: For color distortion, have you installed the latest drivers for your card?

Also to add, monitoring the GPU USage it never gets to 99-100% it will jump to 75-85, then drop back down to 45-65 while playing a game. The CPU Temps never go above 55. I'm just lost on what is the cause. So getting rid of the CPU would help? I had a FX 6300 before.

I think maybe a motherboard change and an Intel Core i5 6600k would work well for playing most new games on medium/high settings http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-6600K-vs-AMD-FX-8350/3503vs1489.

For an extra 30-35% $$ you could get the i7 6700k...http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-6700K-vs-AMD-FX-8350/3502vs1489

These are both 6th gen Skylake processors and will perform well (much much better than your current processor)...

EDIT: Recommend i5 6600k / i7 6700 (non k) for your current gpu
