lets do some basics to make sure 'under the hood' is as we expected first turn off ALL OCing.
Did you install all Windows Updates? Including OPTIONAL except BING? Check them and repeat till ALL are installed.
Download and run Slim Drivers, install all the latest updates but you don't need to reboot until you do the last update
Go to www.filehippo.com, download Malwarebytes, go to CUSTOM Scan and set it to do a full system scan (by DEFAULT IT DOESN"T DO THAT, and AntiVirus doesn't pick up alot of malware) - this resolved almost ALL other similiar posts to date as most had Malware the AV didn't pick up.
Remove whatever AV your using and download AVIRA, AVG, Comodo or Panda go to CUSTOM Scan and set it to do a full system scan (by DEFAULT IT DOESN"T DO THAT) - this repeatedly has resolved alot of people issue relying on MS Essentials.
Repeat the AV/Malware scans till the system comes up clean.
Download and run SPECCY, copy and paste the first tab to show your idle temps
Download AUTORUNS and turn off anything NOT critical on startup, so you don't need to run JAVAScheduler to check for Java updates everytime you start your computer for example. BE CAREFUL AND KNOW WHAT YOUR TURNING OFF BEFORE YOU DO IT.
Download and run MSI Afterburner, in the settings turn ON OSD, then go through and SET the stuff to 'watch' by enabling them in OSD (On Screen Display)
Now run some of the games that run poor, what temps are you getting when underload as compared to what you posted?
With MSI Afterburner Do you see anything funny that the CPU or other parts are maxing out (we are testing here not trying to WIN at the games, so if your screen is filled with readouts then just deal as we are just observing).
Do you see this problem when in SOLO MODE? Only when Multiplayer?
Check all the games you listed, and provide if there they ALL or just SOME are having this issue?
Open Computer, Can Air dust out the bunnies and use paint brush on the vents, coolers, fans, etc.
Go through and provide a response on each point, don't SKIP IT because "I ALREADY DID IT" , just try doing it again as of THIS post so we know NOW what is happening as compared to BEFORE you posted.

Hello Tom Tancredit, Firstly thanks so much for this long and helpful piece of information you've provided me with.
Now starting, I checked to see if I've downloaded the Windows updates and I did I installed them all.
Secondly I downloaded and ran Slim drivers it asked me to scan so I did and it had a few things I needed to update so I did that and updated them all. Once I done that I restarted my PC and download Malwarebytes I done a full system scan and it came up with 50 threats and deleted them.
Once I done all of this I restarted my PC yet again just to make sure everything would run fine. I removed my Anti-Virus (Norton 360, 30 day trial) and downloaded AVG I done a full system scan with this program and it found two threats and deleted them. I restarted my PC yet again.
Now I know you told me not to skip any of the parts but I'm going to skip the next few about temps. I've had ALOT of problems with my PC and temps and I've fixed them all expect my Graphics card temps (Only the top card) My top card runs SUPER hot and I will be buying an aftermarket cooler for this card as soon as I get the money to afford it.
I did infect open my PC. I got a air pucher what blows air, I blow out my PC of all the dust and now it looks like new. 
After doing all this, I've noticed a difference but are now having a problem with my Hard drive running at 100% which I never had this problem before..
But Thanks again for this help and information and taking the time to write this to help me it's much much appreciated. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day, year, life time, George.

TWO Key rules of PCs; NEVER mess with the Power (PSU) nor play with HEAT. Both kill / damage hardware too easily.
Considering the condition of your PC it does NOT look like it has really be maintained (those steps should be your AT LEAST monthly mantra) and most likely I would NEXT start (after getting proper cooling) with downloading DBAN and wiping then reinstalling Windows. If I see things act 'weird' when I try to DBAN wipe it, then I know the HDD is failing (as mentioned).
Please do NOT forget to select the solution.

It's not running too hot where it's damaging the parts, my GPU is running at around 80C while gaming for long times and CPU 65C.

Yeah Actually for a Sapphire R9 290 Tri-x that is actually damaging (causing the GPU core to microcrack as well as the VRAM) the components, depending on how long you been doing this (more then a couple weeks) will inevitably determine how much damage. Just like if you were running your car without enough coolant 'just to get back and forth to work' you still crack the Engine case and warp the pistons / rods that will cause the entire engine needing to be replaced. Just warning you up front.
And that doesn't count for the added heat being applied to the HDD because the Sapphire R9 290 Tri-x is spewing out it's "80C" into the case driving up that, the CPU, the RAM, etc. temps as well. Just saying, your literally melting down your parts internally.

What's not damaging the computer? And it's only been for a couple of days.
