Minecraft and CSGO won't use 100% of your GPU. Looks like the games are more limited by your CPU. Install Optifine for Minecraft and you should see an immediate increase in FPS and check of multicore rendering is enabled on CS GO.

It is still a bit weird that you can't reach at least 180 FPS is CS GO though.
