Check your CPU and GPU temperatures while doing benchmarks. If cooling is not adequate, components will throttle (reduce clock speed) to prevent overheating, and that will result in lower benchmark scores. If your CPU temp exceeds 90C or GPU temp exceeds 100C, you will either need to clean the PC, provide better airflow within the case, or replace the cooler. If you are using stock cooler with i7, replacement is a very likely scenario, i7s can get quite hot, especially when overclocking.

As a side note, I never heard of Recom PSU - looks like a fairly budget unit, which is not suitable for overclocking rig. You might consider replacing it with a decent 600W unit from tier 1/2 from this list...
