Rebuilt PC but results are worse?

ImCubzy

So I just recently rebuilt my PC after having some difficulties with my hard drive forcing me to format then giving me a "reason" to buy new parts. I purchased my PC sometime early 2013, lasting me a decent time. After the hard drive broke I decided to purchase new parts. Once I finished putting everything together, the first game I tested my "New" PC was on Counter Strike Global Offensive. I was expecting at least 200-400 Frames but just came out to be 100-200, 
( don't get me wrong that's decent frames but just doesn't feel the same ). After fixing some settings I managed to get CSGO running good. But I wasn't satisfied, I then tested it on H1Z1 and It was just terrible, 50-90 frames at Max. It just doesn't make sense. If anyone has any answers or suggestions please let me know. My "Old PC" and "New PC" is as follows. 

I understand I didn't change every part but just key components. 
<div> 
* = Parts that stayed the same 

Old- Asus P8H77-I Motherboard 
Intel i7 2600 CPU 
Nvidia Geforce GTX 780 3GB GPU* 
16GB DDR3 Ram* 
Windows 7 64 bit 

New- GA-Z97X-UD7 TH Motherboard 
Intel i7 4790k CPU 
Nvidia Geforce GTX 780 3GB* GPU 
16GB DDR3 Ram* 
Windows 8.1 64 bit 



I even checked the frames I would get on Minecraft just for fun and uh... 90-100 Frames... wtf?

 

That's my main 4tb main drive, someone told me my PC was running slow due to it being a bad Hard Drive, and to put it in an external case, is this true?

Yes. The speed of the bus used to connect the drive will limit the speed

For better performance on games you should be upgrading your GPU

the 780 is still plenty powerful for 1080p and even for 1440p, so no he should not upgrade teh GPU

Did you in-game performance really go down because I didn't see you mention past framerates. If not it's not that surprising since games mostly use GPU and a minor CPU upgrade wouldn't do much. As for HDD, most optimized games would load everything onto RAM so it shouldn't affect it the framerate that much.

This is pretty strange. Honestly, the CPU and Mobo upgrade wasn't worth it. Wait until something is more worthwhile that comes out.

People aren't getting his point. Hes got nothing but BETTER parts, and is getting less performance. If you have any old external hard drives, install a game onto it and see if you get the same frame issue.

i agree it is plenty but i am just stating GPU is main thing that effects your gaming performance

If you actually read everything and take it in context, the OP is upset that he upgraded components in his PC and hasn't seen an improvement in games, so @Dannykins quite rightly said that upgrading the graphics would show an improvement in FPS. Regardless of whether the 780 is capable or not, upgrading the graphics will show more of an improvement than upgrading from an old gen i7 to a newer gen i7 when specifically talking about game FPS.

Yes, the performance is worse before on games like H1z1 and MC ( don't play anymore ) I would get at least 200 frames.

I don't really care that it didn't improve by a lot but so much it got worse, that's what bothers me.

What's your new hard drive?

If you look at most gaming benchmarks, CPUs barely make a difference. The difference between a 4790k and 5820k is like a few fps.

No, reread the thread. The issue is not that he was expecting to get higher frames than before, but it's that hes actually getting lower.

Well that is my new hard drive, the one I posted up above. I plan on getting an SSD to see if anything improves.

Yeah that is noted  but i was just making a statement that upgrading GPU gives better Gaming performance, so debating about something like that really is not solving his problem.

is it just in game performance decreased or overall performance?
