So I have posted this a few times and thought I had the problem figured out last night but after a few hours it all went to crap again.
From the start: I bought myself a GTX 780 from EVGA a few weeks ago installed it and everything was running GREAT! BF4 70-110 FPS. Then after a few days I come home fire up the game and am struggling to make 60 fps with dips into the 20's. So I think bad video card right? Well I call EVGA and set up an RMA. But before I sent it out I thought I would do some extensive troubleshooting. So I went to a friends house and put my card in his PC. Ran great 80-110 FPS in BF4. So we tried His PSU in my comp with the 780 still running like crap. Next his RAM and PSU same thing. After that fresh OS wipe His RAM his PSU still running like crap. So it's not the 780 its not my PSU it's not my OS. Only thing I left at this point is my CPU/Mobo right? So I try flashing a fresh bios. Nothing changes. I run Memtest86 on my RAM just for giggles no errors there. I try a defrag nothing. Tried under clocking my CPU tried overclocking my CPU once again nothing. It's been about a week now and it seems to be getting worse now my PC constantly hangs freeze and is to the point that I only get about 30-60 FPS in Dota 2. Have tried 3 different GPU's in my PC (570,650,780) and all perform EXACTLY the same. So I am out of things to troubleshoot or so I think. Anyone have any clue or do I just need to buy a new CPU/Mobo? Can a CPU/Mobo go bad without completely dying?
Also worth noting nothing is overheating I run my CPU under liquid cooling my the GPU has never exceeded 85c.
UPDATE: Last night I had someone recommend switching the 780 into another PCI-E slot and it worked GREAT after doing so even though it was only a 4x slot. 80-90 FPS in BF4 again everything running smooth card was pulling the right amount of power and boosting to its overclock no issues. But once again I start playing Dota 2 today and it all goes to crap once again 20-30 frames could not break 60 to save my life card won't overclock so on so forth. I have searched every possible way to find someone with a similar issue and just cant do it. Seems like peoples Mobo/CPU either work or they don't and that there is no in between.

Sorry for the wall of text but I am trying to be as detailed as possible.
