I'll try to the best of my ability to describe my problem.
In areas where there are high particle effects or "lots of shiny" my computer almost comes to a screeching halt.
A couple of examples of this are as follows.
Skyrim when there are a lot of candles (IE enchanting stations)
Skyrim when two bright windows are next to each other and a lot of that "dust" effect is coming from them.
Tera when I look at swirling water (for some reason a lot of people casting spells has no effect)
I will go from a cool 60ish frames to almost stand still only when I look at these close. If I am at any distance at all its fine.
Also in WoW this happens in areas that have a lot of ground clutter if I have ground clutter set to ultra.
The effect doesn't seem like a normal frame drop.. it is almost rubbery sluggish or like a stagger in fact it says my frame rate is about 40 (in the wow specifically). Almost like everything slows down really slow and when i move from this area things go really fast to catch up (that is noticed the most in wow.)
The rig is rather new, although budget. I feel like its a lot more jurassic than it should be. I'll list my specs below and maybe you can see a bottleneck or another problem
CPU = AMD FX-6300 Vishera 3.5GHz 6 core
Mobo = ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS
Video = SAPPHIRE 100358L Radeon HD 7770
RAM = G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1866
HDD = SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 ST250DM001 / HD253GJ 250GB
OS = Windows 7 64bit
PSU = 550 watt BFG (kind of old but hasn't been used much at all)
Display = 1080p
I'm not expecting perfection with it obviously but the phenomena doesn't seem to happen on lesser machines (although they have much lower framerates)
Temperatures during these phenomena (all approximate +/- a degree or two)
CPU - 47C
Mobo - 32c
GPU - 50c
All drivers are 100% up to date
Thank you for your time.

a friend of mine told me it could be ram or mobo but that didn't seem to make sense to me
