What's wrong with my build?

[TermiOats4]

So I'm not the smartest with computers so I don't know exactly what is wrong with my computer's build, i just know that i can't run any games even at there lowest settings without my computer crying it's eyes out trying to run them.

 

so here's my build

 

MOTHERBOARD: * GIGABYTE 970A-DS3P AMD 970 ATX w/ Ultra Durable 4 Classic, On/Off Charge, GbLAN, 2 PCIe x16, 3 PCIe x1, 2 PCI

 

MEMORY: 8GB (4GBx2) DDR3/2133MHz Dual Channel Memory

 

VIDEO: AMD Radeon R9 290 4GB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 x16 Video Card (Single Card)

 

HDD: 2TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD

 

Fan: Asetek 510LC 120mm Liquid Cooling CPU Cooler

 

CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.50 GHz Eight-Core AM3+ CPU 6MB L2 Cache

 

I made it on CyberPowerPC, i'd appreciate anybody's input on this

 

Edit:i think my driver is some visiontek radeon from amd

You don't need ddr3 2133 memory if you are just gaming (get 1600 or 1866 at most). And you're getting it from CyberpowerPC rather than ordering the parts from somewhere like newegg and just putting it together yourself.

 

 

Those are the only problems I see.

 

Edit: Also, lack of SSD boot drive. Totally worth it for those 20s restarts instead of 2 minutes.

the only thing I can think of is drivers not being installed

Agreed, I'm not much of a AMD man, but that is the first logical thing to check, also, could your gpu not have proper airflow?

try this http://www.iobit.com/driver-booster.php the free version is enough and it is installing drivers the easy way

Wrong section; requested move to Troubleshooting. Did you install drivers?

As others have said, install graphics drivers.

100% sure its a driver not installed, you have a system better then mine and i can play games on ultra so you should be able to as well.

 

Dragoon20005 posted some links where you should get the drivers from, you can also try the DVD that comes with it, but i recommend you downloading them to be sure that they are the latest version
