Need Help Please!

Ok, I am an FPS freak. I love seeing extremely high numbers when playing games. I had a GTX 750 Ti FTW edition and it burnt out on me. I figured it would be a good time to upgrade so I bought an ASUS GTX 1060 Dual 3gb OC edition. I really only play CS and H1Z1: King of the Kill. When I bought my new gpu my FPS in CS was around 450-500 on max settings. I was enjoying the powerhouse! Then I started to play H1Z1 more and noticed I was only getting maybe 50-60 FPS on ultra settings. I played CS again and I would get 400-500FPS in the lobby, but only 40-80 in game. The same outcome with H1. So, I did some testing and found out that my CPU (AMD FX-4300 3.8Ghz 4 core) was maxing out at 100% usage on all cores when I played these games. So, I bought a new CPU (AMD FX-8320e 3.2Ghz 8 core) and I will get massive amounts of FPS in lobbies, but not in the game itself. My GPU shouldn't be bottlenecking anymore and I have updated all the drivers. I need some help.

the CPU is not of the best quality. any modern i3 will wipe the floor with a AMD FX cpu

you can try lowering your settings to minimum and see how many fps you gain
if they do not increase significatnly, your CPU is just not powerful enough to run this game with higher fps

I've lowered the settings with no gain. I use core temp on my other monitor when I play both games and all 8 cores sit around 60% when I play them. Obviously there is not an issue with the CPU running the game and it's no longer bottlenecking the GPU.

If I run Valley Benchmark on ultra settings I stay around 120 FPS, which is really good. I don't get it.

Regardless, i'm not here for a pissing contest between AMD and Intel. When I had my 750 Ti installed I was getting 300fps on CS. I put the new card in and was getting high FPS, for some reason it will not go back to a higher FPS amount. My CPU isn't maxing out, so that's not the problem.

I'm using a Corsair CX600m. I've looked over the PSU and everything looks good. The reason my old card stopped working is because I went to flash the GPU bios to a newer version and it got bricked.

if your fps don't increase when lowering graphics settings, then your cpu is limiting your gaming experience and it shouldn't be GPU related as fps would increase

if the benchmark can make use of all cores of the FX then you might be getting a decent score there while a single/dualcore dependant application performs worse.

PSU could be a factor that it can't deliver enough power
as are windows power settings (could been set to some weird energy saving mode)
also how's your RAM usage?
