Recently I've built a new computer, and I am getting low FPS on any game with what should be moderate settings. I have tried on both Skyrim and Guild Wars 2, both games that my last computer, which was built 3 years ago, had absolutely no trouble with on medium settings, and they chug along at FPSs in the 10s.
What I have done:
Installed drivers through the Device Manager
Downloaded all Windows updates
Run disk checks
Run Malwarebytes
"Unparked" CPUs, whatever that means
So here's the thing, I am using the hard drive from my previous computer as a slave drive. I originally wanted to use it as the hard drive to my new computer but I guess there wasn't enough available memory so I got a new one. Can it be related to this? I'm really reaching the end of my limited experience with computers here. I bought a bunch of recent parts all at the same price range so I really have no idea what is happening here. What frustrates the most is Geforce Experience is recommending freaking ultra on everything and I can't even run medium well.
I have looked in the Performance Manager and there seems to be a lot of duplications of System and svchost at times, before they disappear. Especially when I have a game going but also just randomly it spikes up.
Anyways here's (as far as I know) the relevant bits from DxDiag and what I know, please let me know if there's any other information that helps.

Thanks in advance for you consideration! This forum is really great.
