Hey guys!
So I've had my rig for about 1 1/2 years and now and it's done me well. However, for the past couple of months I've noticed a decline in performance.
My specs are as follows:
Intel i5-3570k
GeForce GTX 760
1 TB HDD
8GB RAM
650 Watt Power Supply
Now when I started with the PC it was a bit odd but as time passed it got worse. For example I run Farcry 3 at under 25 fps and Black Ops 2 for some reason is locked at 6 fps. Counter Strike even gives me ridiculous frames and I'm not sure what to do anymore. I've tried everything including updating drivers, defragmenting, I have even bought a GeForce GTX 960 but the results were the same. I will note that my friend initially built my PC since I wasn't educated and I think he might've used a non-registered Windows 7 since it never updates and well I hope it's not pirated but could this actually be an issue? Can my operating system be the thing? I need any help please.
