new build need help!

[I need help help me]

Hi so i have recently built myself a new computer, it isn't preforming as well as what i assumed it would.

My question is that is my system bottle necking or am i just expecting too much?

build:
graphics card: Sapphire HD 7950 3gb GDDR5
cpu:AMD fx 6300 black edition
motherboard: Gigabyte 78lmt-usb3
ram:4 gb hyperx
Power supply: 500w

Over all im just wonder what sort of performance should i be getting?

oh and also i was assuming that it would at least be able to max out a game like Minecraft no problem.

It should max Minecraft and games like BF4. What FPS are you getting?

The bottlenecks that could be existing are-
1. The PSU : I think you should have atleast 600w for a build with an inefficient card such as the 7950 and also an inefficient CPU.
2. The RAM : 8GB RAM has become more of a norm for building PCs these days.

You should be able to max out a game like minecraft if the PSU is not the bottleneck,
hence apparently you need a new PSU. Get atleast 600W for this build.

when i max out minecraft the fps seems to fluctuate alot and isnt steady at all 🙁 after i bring some of the settings down a bit it seem to hold a steady 60 fps but even then it still fluctuates a bit.

so it is more than likely that it need some more power to run sufficiently, and another stick of ram would help?

It definitely is the power supply. If the build is new, consider replacing it with a 600w PSU from the retailer you bought it from. Otherwise, buy a new PSU.

Thanks! I will be doing that.
oh and btw what should i bee expecting in terms of performance once i upgrade to a 600w psu?

Minecraft won't be a concern at all. BF4 will run 1080p 45-50 FPS at ultra settings .
It should behave like any other 7950. The performance will be approximately a bit better than the GTX 760.
