a8 6500 is not a bad CPU and will serve you well for the time being.

I am guessing your APU is working in dual mode with the R7 240 but that is not really enough to max out CS:GO and still get 60 FPS.

It says you have a 180W PSU which I have trouble believing. Can you open up your PC and look at your PSU?

I think you should upgrade your PSU along with your GPU.
This is what I am thinking about for the 215 pound budget:

I really recommend spending a bit money on that PSU - one of the highest quality units on the market.

Thank you for the reply I have been looking everywhere for a solution and this was my last hope thank you so much for the reply also I'm willing to buy Ge-Force gtx 750ti and a corsair power supply which is good enough to cope with the gpu is this a good choice ? Thanks for the help anyways .

GTX 750 Ti a good entry-mid range card for 1080p so if you are fine with that performance, you don't have to pay more.

CX series PSUs are low quality so I would recommend Antec VP-450 for the same price.

This might be a silly question but what FPS will i be getting. I dont need answer but if you could it would be great.

 

[Forever Oleg]

Let's just say you will be able to play any game out there (except the latest Assassin's Creed) with 60 FPS at 1080p on at least med settings, sometimes 40+ FPS on the most demanding games. GTX 750 Ti is a nice card.

Thanks for the Help but in the game CSGO which is the only one i play (no other games completely) when i stand infront of a smoke i go from 130 fps to 50 what causes this because thats what i want to stop happening really

 

[Forever Oleg]

Not enough and not fast enough dedicated VRAM.

 

[Bakkor]

so how do i change this or what do i need to do ?

 

[Forever Oleg]

Don't know man. Not experienced with AMD's dual mode APU+GPU stuff.

 

[Bakkor]

so if i upgrade like you said will this resolve the issue

 

[Forever Oleg]

It should.

Your performance should be roughly similar to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYGd9GfQxxM

thats awesome but i cant buy the power supply you advised so would corsair one be ok ? ill link you it ? http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing-accessories/components-upgrades/power-supplies/corsair-builder-series-cx430-fixed-atx-psu-430-w-19736919-pdt.html this is becuaase im 15 and credit card is expired

 

[Forever Oleg]

It will do, but if you plan on upgrading your CPU and Mobo or upgrading your GPU, I advise you get a higher quality PSU.
