Upgrading PC but not getting performance, what am i missing?
Hello
First of all my pc specs are as follows
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate, Service Pack 1, 64 bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 58 Stepping 9

The problem i am having is that even after spending over a thousand pounds on trying to get my pc up-to-date and able to run latest games easily, it still seems that something is lacking? :/
I am using a SS drive and the processor is watercooled, the fans are all running and theres plenty of hdd space.
the main issue is, for example, running Far cry 4 is high graphics settings, i get framerate issues and stuttering as if the computer is struggling, also the fans are working full whack when running a game and getting temperatures of 90c+ and up on my GPU!
My GPU is r9 290 OC edition so it have 2 fans and there is good air supply. I am using a LOGIK 36" TV in 1280x720 resolution. with no scaling involved.
What is it that going wrong here please? i cant run any good in good quality they are all bought genuine too. maybe my motherboard? or processor? i have tried overclocking but cpu and gpu a little bit but it caused crashes so they are both in their default modes.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much
