games not using my gpu

[LITHUM1]

so game not using my full gpu last year or so i noticed a lower fps than usual i ignored it 

but the last month or so in some games i really started noticing low fps than usual 

so i ran msi afterburner while playing some games (bf1,league of legends,csgo , etc...)

i noticed low gpu usage like really low around 15 to 40%

my spec are 
cpu : amd fx 8320-e

mobo : asus  m5a78l-m plus/usb 3 

ram : hyper x 8gb 1600 mhz

ssd 240 wd green for oc

2 tb seagate for games (its brand new) 

here is my nvidia control panel settings 

 ive tried to flash my bios couple times 

rest the oc like 4 times 

--------------------------------------

i really think the problem is my psu its 500 w 

but its cheap one i bought it like 3 years and i didnt think about it prob not the smartest move by me but i was 15 at that time

and my gpu dosent have a pin connector its mobo powered one could it be the problem or the psu ?

im planning on changing the psu to another one here is the name of it COUGAR VTE 600 80+ 

i appreciate any help

have you tried dduing your drivers 

also maybe  try monitoring your usage using gpu- z

Means to uninstall the drivers with DDU (https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html) and then reinstall them.

You're replacing a bad power supply with a worse one. Do NOT buy that Cougar fire cracker

Have you tried using Afterburner's overlay to monitor CPU and GPU usage while in game? Maybe one or more CPU cores running at 100%?

cx650 

MWE 650 (although from what i see this one is more expensive )

rm650x its a little bit more fancy than than the cx one but its also pretty good

Corsair TXM 550W or Cooler Master MWE Gold 550W. Your system barely uses 300W under Max stress test load

[LITHUM1]

[LITHUM1]

i didnt see any diff 
csgo gpu usage   30 to 45 % cpu usage 45 to 60 %

bf1 gpu 53 max usage cpu 70 to 90 usage 

[LITHUM1]

[LITHUM1]

Pure power is a really good psu lineup but it depends on what you find it for

Well as said above 

Either a ddu 

Or the psu 

Or the readings are wrong

its csgo, csgo shouldn't use 100 percent of the gpu unless you are playing at high settings. it seems like you are playing these games at competitive settings so, your gpu shouldnt be at 100 percent. If you want the gpu to be at 100 percent set you games to high or ultra
