Identifying bottleneck - is 600ti not handling it?

Hi people. I have recently bought some new hardware and my pc is now as follows:

I5-4670k running at 3.8Ghz
Gigabyte GeForce 660ti OC
GA-z97m-d3h
2x 4GB Kingston Fury RAM @ 1600
120GB V300 Kingston SSD
1TB HDD Damsung 7500rpm
Sentey 750W
144hz 24'' Philips Monitor 1080p

so, I have been experiencing some performance issues with pretty much every demanding game, like Metro Redux, Rome II total war and even with some low demmanding ones like Divinity Original Sin. Fraps shows some steady FPS but the games stutter a little and I'm not sure why.
I had more stable configs with my old i5-2500 non-k.
I wonder if its my monitor's resolution thats requiring more VGA juice so I made some research and found out that I dont have the same performance that usually the benchmarks are showing with my 660 ti on 1080p.

So my question is: should I aim for a better VGa? Where's my bottleneck? CPU? Should I try to Oc it? Why does it stutter?
Maybe that has something to do with the monitor's refresh rate? I really dont understand that well the relationship between the monitor's refresh rate and fps.
I know something is wrong.. I should have some better performance, but I have no idea where's the problem.

All drivers are up to date.

Thanks in advance!

Stuttering can be caused by using vsync. What framerates are you getting at what settings?

Also, note that all the testing done in the article you reference was done with a six-core i7 @ 4.0 GHz, so you can't compare it to your four-core i5 @ 3.8 GHz.

I know I cant compare.. but anyway what grinds my gears is that it seems that I get worse performance with my new CPU than with my old i5-2500. This issue didnt happened back then. And v-sync doesnt seem to interfere actually... both on and off are the same. So this could be a cpu issue? maybe if I oc'd it a little bit it would help? I also noticed that theres something related to the time I spend gaming. It gets worse after around 1h of gaming. The temps are normal, never more than 40c on the CPU and 70 on the GPU. Not sure if that could have something to do with it.

on Rome II I have around 50 fps during battles and campaign map, but camp. map is much worse. but that's an old problem I guess. Cant do much to help it.
I didnt mesured it on other games. As soon as I have that, I'll post it!

Thanks for the quick answer Harboym!
Btw.. you have a 660ti SLI! DOes it work well? I was thinking in doing something like that instead of buying a 770. Do you think its worth it? Would it work on my mobo?

Thanks
