PC Issues

[ZehPhish]

So, I have an 
 

AMD FX 8350 CPU

GTX 760 GPU

8GB DDR3 Ram

Playing games like fortnite and i'm getting MASSIVE fps drops. Suddenly from around 60fps to around 14fps. I'm really struggling, thinking it's throttling, if I need to upgrade something, what would it be? 

Help

What are your temperatures like while gaming?

I've had a temp program running alongside, they're completely fine. One part of the [Nuvoton NCT6776f] is at 100c when gaming and the other part is at -2.5 apparently. But I'm not sure what that even is. GPU and CPU and everything is all dandy.

There may be  more significant issues, but from the info provided I would recommend replacing that FX8350 it's cores just aren't fast enough to handle gaming that well, also I recommend checking for network issues such as bad wifi and the like.

What software is giving you that reading? I think most of us on the forum recommend CPUID HWMONITOR. It gives you a great look at temps across all your system components and lets us better work out the issues. Try it and see what it says the temps on your motherboard are.

Also, check your hard drive usage in task manager, if your storage can't keep up with the game then you'll get lag.
