What's wrong with my PC?

My current specs:

AMD A10-6800K [Black Edition]
Nvidia GTX 750
8GB DDR3 RAM
Seagate Barracuda 1TB Internal SATA 3 Hard Drive
Gigabyte f2a88xm-ds2
230V PSU

My PC is running games at lower FPS than it should, I'm wondering if it's a hardware problem; if I've missed anything in the specs, just ask me

I might have something to do with the PSU. How many watts? Is it 230w or 230v if 230w that's not enough

 

[zcameronn]

it's 230V

 

[TheOnePhoenix]

it's 230V

How many watts

 

[zcameronn]

500W

 

[TheOnePhoenix]

Hmm, might be an overheating issue? Have you tried monitoring you temps in game? And also clean the CPU and GPU fans.

500W

500w should be enough for that build

Whats wrong? You need to dial down your expectations of gaming on this PC. At 1080p youd be lucky to get playable frames on any AAA title. At 720p itll run better. Your PC has a 4 year old APU and a 3 year old entry level GPU. Adjust your settings.

Temp goes to 30-45°, if I'm correct, that's a fine temp, right?

what could my next upgrade be? Not looking to splash too much money, but around $120'ish

I think you need to save more and either look into Ryzen when it comes, or invest in an i5, mobo, and DDR4 RAM. A move ill be making myself soon once I know what Ryzen brings to the table.

I'm pretty bad when it comes to part-picking, could you give me an example of a CPU/MOBO combination I could use? (
