My gpu is not maxing out at all. Could it be bottlenecking on my cpu? Which pcie slot is optimal? There are only two on this motherboard and I have the 760 in the same slot as my old card.

So while running borderlands 2 in windowed mode on the lowest settings possible I was getting an avg of 20fps from Msi and my resource moniter is showing my CPU 0-3 running in the 90-100% range. Does this mean that my cpu is bottlenecking me? Its an I5 760 that runs at 2.8. I feel like over-clocking could be a solution.

Try reinstalling your drivers or updating to the newest ones, that might fix the problem , i had problems in web sites freezing and making me have to hard reboot my cpu , i updated the driver on my old GTX 460SE and so far it fixed the problem , maybe updating yours will fix your physx score
