Low FPS on a good PC

[DovahBearu]

Hi everyone and thank you for reading this.

Recently I bought a AMD FX-8370E and everything went great for a while.1 week ago I started to see very low frame rate (for example in League of Legends I had 200-300 fps and now I have 30-50). This happens to all the games I play and even in google chrome when i scroll down a site it feels like its in slow-motion. Whenever I try to open any kind of software it work like its should work(fast and with no crashes). Weird this is that if I restart my PC and go back in the game everything works fine for the rest of the day.

PC specs:
-GTX 960 G1 GAMING 2GB
-AMD FX-8370E
-MSI 970A-G43
-Kingston 10GB DDR3 1333Mhz
-SSD Radeon R9
-HDD Seagate 1TB
-Qoltec wind 505w

I didn't overclock anything and i don't think that heat is a problem here.

What are the specs on your power supply?

I'm sorry, i totally forgot to put the PSU...i updated the question

It's very possible you have a capacitor going bad as a result of straining what is a junk power supply. This power supply only has 19A on the +12V rail, making it just over a 200W PSU for all intents and purposes. When your PC is at load, you're already going well over its spec from the CPU and the GPU.

Once you have a proper PSU that's not struggling to provide power and re-evaluate if there's something secondary going on here.

I'l look for a new PSU then, any recomandations? should i look for one with +550W or 500 is enough(i'm on a really low budget at the moment)

I keep seeing a lot of people posting about low fps and the one thing most of them nearly always have in common is the FX CPU, maybe something to look into.

I think first op has to borrow a psu and run his system with that unit to make sure it is indeed the power supply.

Nonetheless, the power supply is actually crappy. My 550w unit has 45A on the +12v rail. Yours only 19A.

find something that is at least 80+ certified. I like this, however: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438053

If we were talking some Tier 3/4 OK-ish PSU, sure. But with that +12V rail that's less beefy than a kale salad, he shouldn't be playing *any* games - the PSU needs to be replaced either way.

what about this Segotep SG-D600SCR?

Most of segotep is crap. Maybe all of them is crap.

You can not get a good power supply for $40 now. Usually EVGA B2 hangs in that price range, but i see they are out of stock or priced much higher.
