is my system is underperforming?

[aseem123]

I have a system with i3-4160,8gb ram 1600mhz ddr3,r9 270x(2gb),500gb hard drive,gigabyte h81m-s motherboard , Antec VP550P power supply and I use a 720p screen and I don't get locked 60fps in games like project cars, fallout 4(fallout is demanding but still).

So my problem is that I am not getting locked 60fps it's pretty close to 60 but it's not locked(vsync is on) even at 720p and I am willing to upgrade to a 1080p monitor and if did will my fps will become more poor at 1080p? please help

My CPU temperature is around 70'c ,GPU temperature is around 74'c and my hard drive is around 40'c while playing
Please help me out?

performance will get worse on 1080p, cuz more pixel needed to be load
try clean up your pc and reapply thermal paste, 70 C is quiet high

You simply need a more powerful graphics card. A 720P monitor has 1280X720 or 921,600 pixels while a 1080P or 1920X1080 or 2,073,600 pixels which is just over twice as much. So a 1080P monitor will be about twice as slow as your present monitor.

Your temperatures are too high, try re applying thermal paste. And if you could upgrade, I would upgrade your CPU. Having only two cores limits your frames.

1.Is my processor seriously overheating (17'c is the temperature in my area)?
2.Will cleaning the system and re-applying the thermal paste would fix the problem or the problem is something else?
3. When it was new it had shown the exact same performance as of now so dust is a problem or not?
3. Is after market thermal paste necessary I had only stock thermal paste?

1.Seriously no..but we want to make this low as possible
2.This will lower the tempretures on Componets
3.Dust is a problem(blocking air streams=>no cooling=>higher tempretures)
3.Stock thermal paste is trash..especially the white one.U can buy 4g syringe ~8 dollars max(I use Arcric MX-4)
Try instaling 2x120mm fans in the case.1-st to suck air in the PC and 2-nd to blow it away.Suck air in the botom(to keep GPU cool) & top exaust (to remove the hot air from the box).Box must be closed if u want air circulation.Your PSU also blow air away from the PC.
This will help with the tempreture issues
After u do this u can start overclocking for beter performance

P.S.
I had Radeon HD1950Pro video card with bad cooler.Had a lot issues when reach more than 63 C so ripped the cooler and just attached 1 cheap coller to the cooling plate on the GPU.Problem solved easy peasy

what tool do you use it to see your CPU and GPU temperature?

it is not your room temperature problem, but CPU temperature
room temperature does affect to your CPU temperature, but your CPU cooling system is more affect to CPU temperature
70 C temperature on high load is not so hot not so cool actually

a overheating CPU may cause thermal throttling, cleaning dust and reapply thermal paste to make it run cooler may raise up a bit performance that previously caused by thermal throttling

but, if when it was new had the same performance, then you need a better CPU/GPU
