First off, I'll start off with my rig:
Intel Core i5-2500K Processor (3.6ghz 4 cores)
10 GB of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 4gb GDDR5
120 GB KINGSTON SH103S3120G ATA Device (SSD)
All of this buttered up on a Gigabyte motherboard: Z68XP-UD3 revision 1.3
Using a 750W power supply.
Secondly this is the benchmark I'm getting with the demo version of 3D Mark:

I've run the benchmark two different times. Even tried updating my BIOS to the latest BIOS and reinstalling the drivers. I made sure that all my old video drivers were off the computer as well. The only things that are new is the power supply and the video card. As you can tell from my benchmark, my video card is only operating at half the capacity (in all fields) that it should be according to the specifications from the amazon page found here:

Then I looked farther down and noticed that the CPU was running at a whopping 1600MHZ!!! Not even half of what it should be! My wife has almost the same exact setup that I do. The only difference is that her motherboard is a Z68X-UD3P-B3 and she's running a normal HDD. However her processor is running at 3800MHZ and her video card is running about 50% faster on the core clock (but still not the advertised speed). Here's her benchmarking:

So as you can see, I'm very confused at why everything isn't working up to standards (I don't and haven't done any overclocking).
Some possible thoughts is:
1. The Motherboard is not powerful enough to support these things.
2. A friend says that my RAM is configured funny.
3. My CPU is failing and my video card needs to be RMA'd.
Any ideas of what's going on? And should I RMA both video cards since they aren't operating at their advertised speed?
