Low FPS on Skyrim

Hi,
I have a AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition and a AMD FX-6300. When I play Skyrim I get frame drops in some areas down to 20-40 fps. Some areas it's fine but I feel like with my specs I should be fine to play Skyrim without lag. Anyone got any ideas if this is normal? or is there something wrong?

I've got malwarebytes running in the background but that doesn't take up much CPU especially with a Six Core. It's not doing any kind of virus scan though.

No i haven't dropped much of anything on the ground and I have two characters one with about 40 hours playtime and the other about 100 hours.
