What games?

What OS?

What driver version of your card's are you using?

Have you been getting an BSODs?

How are the temps?

Can you provide us with some more information

PSU (I don't know if it is bad or not) or GPU could be upgraded but it looks fine.

 

Maybe reinstall windows. and what HDD or SSD do you have?

I dont know where to find or know what BSOD or where to find temps are.

I would upgrade to an SSD.  That'll speed things up for ya.  Everything else seems new enough to keep.

To find temps, google coretemp and install.  Its free and super easy to use.  If your temps are rocking temps in the 90s because of some issue, it could be thottling...  prolly not, but it does happen.

I have almost the same mobo as you, so this is what I would have started checking:

 

1. Go in to bios(advanced mode/view) then go to monitoring and check voltages for any abnormalitie. The voltages should be VERY close to described voltage on the sensor you are looking at. If you see values that are abnormal? Clean PSU and try that first. second you can try reseating all the connectors in the system. By that I'm talking about video card, RAM and power connectors. Is the voltages still bad, get a new PSU(around 600w + is good)
2. Do a memory check. One stick at a time with memtest or similar software
3. Feel around on the heat sinks on the motherboard for any super hot-spots. Running this mobo hot will make it do weird things. This I have experienced my self while running a bit high OC.
4. Do a HDD check of file structure and health. A bad storage system can do some bad things

Hope you get it fixed.
