What is bottlenecking my system, high end PC made look like a fool in WoW.

OK guys, i'll start with my current PC.

ASUS Maximus VIII Ranger Motherboard.
16gb Ripjaws 2400mhz
250gb Samsung Evo SSD
1TB WD HDD
EVGA 780ti SC with ACX
EVGA 850 G2 Supernova PSU
Corsair H100i
Corsair Graphite 760T Case.

Now, Apparently with World of Warcraft my computer cant hold a steady 60 fps with everything maxed out at 1080p. It will stutter in certain areas, when I turn my camera FPS will drop. in towns, I just won't get a steady 60 fps. Funnily enough, I will get 90-100 fps in WoW with completely maxed out settings but then plummet for no reason. I use to play on 2k with maxed out settings no problem. Now? haha no more than 40 fps. I like my games maxed out for eye candy and refuse to lower just to gain the FPS so I don't know whats going on, I have been getting high temps in this card, (roughly 80-88C) but these cards are known to run hot. Don't know if its the GPU starting to die or what. I can run any other games at 2k with completely maxed out settings no worries even with games that have better graphic fidelity, but apparently World of Warcraft it doesn't care what type of PC you have. And it is really bugging me my OCD is ticking because I am not getting that buttery 60 fps constantly no matter what. Any ideas? I am at wits end lol

P.S the Motherboard, ram and CPU are brand new.

Try disabling addons. Also disable SSAO and put shadows to low. I cannot run ultra, since legion pre-patch either. I can comfortably run a 7 out of 10, but still make those changes. That temp is a bit high too. I have the 780ti classified, and pretty sure my is a good 10-15 degrees cooler than yours.
Hi Daniel :)

Could you please list your CPU and have you OCed the CPU at all or made changes in Bios.?
Can I assume you are on latest GPU driver and Bios also.?
Please also list the P/N of your DIMMs.

Yes indeed the GPU should perform better. We may have to do some stress testing to check on temps and voltages.

With minimum FPS dropping, it's usually the CPU. The memory should be OK. WoW is absurdly CPU intensive on ultra. If you have anything above an i3 though, and relatively new (A i5 3470 should be able to get 60fps). Wait. Just looked at your mobo. Surely you have an i7 paired with that beast?

Um, you should be getting pretty good fps. Perhaps its just an update? Or just WoW. 80-88 degress is fine for a graphics card. Perhaps lower your graphics card overclock if you have, or just undervolt the card.
