Having pretty low fps with a gaming PC

Hey, not very much to explain but for the fact that I have a gaming PC that is performing pretty badly in games. I mostly play Fortnite at the moment and I generally have pretty low fps there with all the graphics settings to the lowest and even trying to play at a lower resolution than 1920x1080.

The PC has a program called "Gaming Center" where I can set certain features such as "Silent mode" or "Gaming mode" etc. (can provide screenshots of how it looks at the moment). But whenever I switch from Silent mode to Gaming mode, the fans go crazy and make a lot of noise! Doesn't sound normal at all, it's extremely loud.
So I'm kinda lost here, don't know what to do since the computer is supposed to run games at high fps but I'm stuck at low fps.

Specs:
PC: MSI Nightblade mi2
OS: Windows 10, 64-bit
RAM: 8 GB
Processor: Intel Core i5-4460S
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 960
I have also tweaked the Nvidia 3D settings for maximal performance. (can provide screenshot)
Not sure what else to put here.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks
 
Gaming on silent mode likely won't work, I'm sure the system steps down speeds to keep fans low. It should not be scary loud even on gaming mode though, unless you are just used to silence and the fan noise is normal. Make sure system is clean, maybe re-do the heat sink with new thermal paste. See if you can modify the fan speeds to lower while still keeping speeds high on the CPU and video card.

Thanks for the response!
I'm pretty sure that I'm not used to silence since my last PC was moderately loud. But I can assure you that the noise it makes is not normal, its ridiculously loud. This is what the app looks like:
What its currently at: https://gyazo.com/9b3d43619bc930755a4468e74373acb5
Gaming mode: https://gyazo.com/6a1ba57ed558b5f09f67aa3b5dfb1606
The gaming mode itself does not make much noise when I'm not doing much but as soon as I start a game it starts to get super loud.
This thing also pops up: https://gyazo.com/fb0a792e278c25ffa0f2cfda8ed46177
Not really sure how to modify anything, do I need a different program?
