Have you cleaned for card? I once had so much dust in mine the fan couldn't move and it would shut down every game after 10 secs of launching it.
EDIT: I mean my ol' HD 4870, not the 760. But this is a problem of every GPU/CPU heat sink and if you didn't clean it since February it is possible that it is the case.

I'm going with this.
The GTX 760 can get a bit toasty, and if it gets dusty she'll be throttling from too much heat ...

It won't set on fire because of dust,but it can shut down every ten or so minutes if there's too much dust in the PC.
I'd clean the graphics card first and then update to the latest driver(344.60). Both combined should get you back to those 60 FPS at high you were talking about.

I don't suck ... I blow
The general consensus used to be that the set-up and air flow associated with the vacuum might introduce a static electric discharge and damage electronic components. Could it be an 'urban legend' started by the compressed air manufacturers? Who knows?
If there are concerns with dust flying around --- take it outside.

Damn, now after 10 years of cleaning my computers using a vacuum cleaner on regular basis I will be afraid to do it
