So I seem to be having a "semi" problem.
First I would like to state I am not even running at 1080P, 1280x1024.
EVERYTHING is running at stock speeds.

Entire System Build:

EVGA SuperClocked w/ ACX Cooling 02G-P4-2774-KR GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card

Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I54670K

Kingston HyperX Beast 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model KHX16C9T3K2/16X

ASUS Z87-A LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

I am sitting at shown 37 FPS with a 72% GPU load and 74% CPU load.

Second screen shot shows me at a lower 26 FPS with CPU usage at 63% and GPU usage at 56%.

For the first screenshot GPU-Z seems to state that my GPU is having a power issue? Where in the second screenshot it's on and off. For the record I have both the 8-pin and 6-pin PCI-E power cables connected to my card.

Is the PSU I am using, I would assume 40v on each rail would be MORE than enough for a 770GTX.

So people of Tom's Hardware.... why is my new baby decreasing my overall usage when my FPS drops, instead of taxing the overall system harder. Or is it actually taxing my CPU as much as it can and that is the current bottleneck?
 
Solution
I don't see bottlenecks in your setup.
Not sure about PSU, but it's new so doubt it's problem there.

Now, have you tried updating all drivers?
