Recently built my own pc and expected it to perform better than it does it struggles to play many games such as it experiences lag on many games even on the lowest settings some to the point that they are not even playable.
Example of games it struggles with:
Skyrim
Deus ex
Thief
Fifa 14
Shogun 2
GTA 4
And a few more
(by struggle and lag gameplay is generally slowed as if slow motion or it jumps from one picture to another ,not smooth.)

Parts include:
ASRock Z77 Extreme 4
Intel i5 - 3570K
Geforce GTX 760 (windforce)
Samsung EVO 840 SSD
Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD
G.Skill Ripjaw 8GB (2x4GB)
Antec TP-650C (650Watt)

Can anybody tell me what is causing the poor performance what is causing the bottle neck and what I can do to atleast make some of these games playable even if just on low settings.

Both must be plugged to the GPU in order for it to work properly.

I have two monitors plugged in
one into the motherboard via HDMI displaying at 1600x1200
the other into the graphics card via DVI displaying at 1280x1024
