My system seems to have a bottleneck

Hi, and good evening everyone!

As my topic states, I'm having some trouble, im not getting the results i want, i havent done any hard testing, but I know there is something, my old rig with similar spec handled games equally, but now I even have a better GFX card.

The game really showing trouble, is WoW, this isnt really a heavy game itself, but loads of particles etc during raids, where I seem to have fps trouble.

The rig:
ASUS Crosshair V Formula AM3+
AMD Phenom II X6 1075T @ 3Ghz(Watercooled, never passed 50C)
ASUS GTX 770 DCII 2GB
2x Corsair Dominator GT DDR3 2000MHz 4GB @ 2Ghz
Cooler Master Silent Pro M700, 700W PSU

Other than this i feel its worth mentioning im using 3 monitors, but just the middle one for games,
while the left and right are for spotify/netflix/etc, and the middle monitor is 120hz, the others 60.

Please help me, I'm gonna go insane over this, considering new CPU/RAM, but I do not know where to go from here, and answers will be most appreciated

Espen.
 
If you haven't already. run a program like FRAPS to give us (and you) an idea of what frames per second you are actually getting.

Does the computer seem slow all the time, or just when gaming?

Since WOW is an online game, some of this could be due to a slow internet connection, or a slow server on their end. Would be good to test with a game that doesn't take you online for comparison.
 
I can elaborate a little, its down to 20-25 fps at the bottom, BF3/4 runs smoothly here, high fps is kinda my thing, and I never dip under 60 on medium in BF with the rig...
The disk btw is SSD, game and system on it.
 
A quick Google search came up with a LOT of people reporting this problem with WOW after the 5.2 patch on systems that worked just fine before that patch. Some posts say it might be related to old third party add-ons...
 
Then that's probably the solution then... what a boring one! 😀

Thanks for the good answers guys, was really nice of you.
