Download CPUID HWmonitor or speccy (recommend speccy, it's simpler) to see what your temps are. Then report back what they are both idle and ingame.

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

IT says my computer is at 3.64 Ghz while I'm watching a youtube video nothing else.

 

My temp is 34C at idle.

Open task manager to see CPU and RAM usage.

It happened for me once and I found out that it was the HDD I ran HDTune and got some small errors but I became certain when I installed a fresh windows and it became faster then slowed down again within 1 or 2 days ( each time it start up it become slower )

My computer randomly started going really slow and I'm wondering waht programs I should run to find out what is wrong with it.

It doesn't have to be temperatures causing the "slow down" it could be just system cleaning and maintenance needed, getting rid of junk files and shit. I use winutitiles but be careful, winutilities can eradicate loads of sensitive data once you use it any different from default settings. I am sure there are other similar software out there that can do the same cleaning.
