I recently upgraded my GPU from an evga GTX 960 2gb to an MSI GTX 1060 6GB. Ever since then my system has been noticeably slow when it comes to opening programs and games.
any help would be appreciated thanks.

My system is:
CPU:intel i5-4670k @ 3.40
RAM:8GB of DDR4
GPU:MSI GTX 1060 6GB
PSU: Corsair cx750m
OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit

Open task manager in windows and see if anything is hitting high usage, or if the CPU is showing the correct clock speed. Worth checking CPU temps also, as the cooler may have been disturbed when you installed the new card.
