Games aren't running as expected

[irongreeene]

So I recently purchased my first desktop ever. I've updated everything and made sure all the drivers were up to date. But I'm not getting the FPS I was expecting. Is there a way I can up the FPS count? I'll post the specs below. (It's struggling to even get 25 FPS on Tomb Raider and barely leveling out at 70 FPS on CS:GO)

CPU - AMD FX-8370 Octo-core 4.30 GHz AM 3+

GPU - ASUS Radeon R9 390 Overclocked 8GB GDDR5 STRIX

RAM - EVGA 16GB DDR3-1866 (PC3-14900) CL 9

Power Supply - EVGA SuperNOVA 850G2 850 Watt Gold Modular ATX 12V

Coolant - NZXT Kraken X61

Memory - Seagate SV35 2TB 7,200RPM SATA 6.0 Gb/s

Motherboard - MSI 970 Gaming AM3+ ATX AMD

Pretty sure that's it. Not sure if I left anything out.

Something is definitely wrong if you are only getting 70fps on CS:GO. The first thing I'd recommend checking is your temps. Then, a Display Driver Uninstaller clean reinstall of the GPU drivers.

My temperatures are always below 40 and I did a clean reinstall but nothing has changed

What are your load temps? Under 40 sounds like an idle temp unless you have a custom loop.

I'm sitting at 45-55while playing csgo. My GPU fans are at 50%.

What OS are you running? Is it a prebuilt rig or custom built?

I have the latest version of Windows 10. It's a custom built rig.

Thank you. What are your CPU and GPU usage percentages? This may show us the cause.

So apparently the GPU keeps on spiking to 100% for some reason. The CPU is fine only maybe getting to 30-40%.

I actually had this on a dodgy card, but it kept crashing so I think this is a different cause. Would you be able to try a different pair of PCIE cables from your PSU's box?

Yeah I changed the cables and still had the same issues.

Have you tested your memory for issues? This could also be limiting performance.

Yes, the memory has absolutely no issues

Would you be able to download GPU-Z for me? I would like you to play a game and see what the perfcap reason is, it may give an indication of why you are getting bad performance.
