How do I get the best performance on my PC?

[The_Distinct]

Hi, I just brought Battlefield 4 on PC and it lags when i am playing the big maps, I have even tried lowing the graphics setting to the lowest possible and still it lags. it also lags for crysis 3 and it is supposed to be optimized for AMD graphics cards. I have tried using game boosters too and i still cant solve it.
Should I buy a new GPU?
Can someone pls help?
thanks.

How's your ISP connection? Sounds more like game server overload than a problem with your system. MMO's are known to have slowdown issues when the servers load up.

whats your temperatures of your computer and ping and whats ur framerate and latency?

The GPU is usually 62-64°c and my CPU is usually 30-49°c
But in game my CPU is still the same but my GPU is 90°C
My internet speed is perfectly fine when i am gaming online i usually have single digit ping levels.

If i tun the fan speed up the computer will make noise and cool it down and if i turn the fan speed down the graphics card could overheat.

But my graphics card doesn't make noise when i put it inside the PCIe 16x slot on the motherboard, but it crashes from time to time this is why i put it in the PCIe 4x slot, it works but it makes a lot of noise.
