Solution
Okay what I see is a processor that is way overkill and a video card that is pretty underpowered when compaired. 8gb of 1333mhz memory is pretty slow for a build with an i7, The power supply is fine watts wise, but if its a POS supply (another knock I've heard on that company) it could be an issue.
Don't touch 650ti amd has the low end gpu market locked down and they crush nvidia on them. Go 7790 etc and try go intel i3 over amd 😛 Fx 6300 will need a bios flash to get a boot because it's vishera and as such newer than most amd motherboards.
