My GPU is underperforming! (Counter-Strike Global Offensive especially)

Hey guys,
I just bought a new graphics card, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 980.
It is a total beast.
Wait no, it should be a total beast.
However it seems to be underperforming on my system.
For example, CS:GO, being a game that's now a few years old, is getting 50-80 fps on my system on max settings on my 1920x1080 60Hz monitor. The game acts fine when I am moving, but when I move the mouse around I get really strange jitter lag!
Could anything from my system be throttling it?

I have an i3 550 Intel CPU @ 3.20 GHz
16 GB of DDR3 1333 MHz Corsair Vengeance RAM
and a 650W CS650M Corsair PSU.

What could be the problem?
