That processor looks kind of iffy. WoW is pretty CPU heavy, so I would guess that between the game and the music going in the background it's eating up a lot of the performance from the CPU.

Granted, I'm no expert, in fact I was here to ask a question myself, but I have read that WoW runs much better on i5 cpu's and with at least 4 gigs of RAM (although I think most people actually recommend 8 gigs).

Maybe if you upgrade your processor and your ram you'll be doing better, because I think that Graphics Card is pretty good for WoW, I've seen videos on YouTube where people use the 7770 to totally max the game out.

Oh yeah, one more thing I just thought of: Maybe you need to upgrade your power supply ever since you installed the new graphics card. Your old one might not be giving off enough juice to optimize your system's capabilities now that it has a new component to worry about.

And also, I'd be pretty happy with 30-40 FPS on ultra. It sounds about right for your build, but like I said, I'm no expert here so this answer will just have to tide you over until somebody who's more knowledgeable swings by.
