Go to ninite.com and only select WinDirStat bottom right. Run the program and select the HDD. It will give you an overview of what is taking up your space and where it is.

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861
