So, here's the dealio. I recently built my own PC, at around Christmas. These are the specs:

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz

Graphics Card: Zotac Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB

Motherboard: MSI H110M Gaming

RAM: 8GB

OS: Windows 10 Pro

And for some reason, I get terrible FPS for the card that I have. For example, I used to have a GTX 750ti and an i5-6400, which could run games like Heroes & Generals, Overwatch, Dark Souls III etc. well over 60fps on High/Max settings, without a problem. Now, I can barely hit 20fps! The games I used to be able to play stutter constantly, and literally never get over 30fps. The card is 100% plugged in, I have all the drivers installed and my CPU shouldn't be bottlenecking the card.

If anyone can help me, I would deeply appreciate it. Thanks!

It is quite low. For 1080p gaming, the average is about ~85W.
I suspect a steep bottleneck, as it seems that the card itself isn't being run to its full potential. Only problem is, your CPU shouldn't be bottlenecking (All systems are bottlenecked because there isn't a truly perfect CPU/GPU combo, but a balanced one like yours should only be bottlenecked maybe 2-5% on either component)
Motherboard should be fine, as it can physically only bottleneck your RAM.
All modern games are capable of running on 8GB RAM.
At this point, I'm not sure what to tell you. Try the usual (Drivers, Adia64).
Although...

First check you hardware using adia64, furmarks, and memtest64.

If the hardware is ok then it could be driver related. Try uninstalling nvidia from control panel. Then use DDU to remove all configs. Then i suggest getting driver 373.06 as newer drivers have been causing video memory to be locked at low speed.

You did plug your cables into the gpu right?
Also did you unstall the drivers and reinstall the new ones?

Although, your system appears to be bottlenecked, there isn't anything that would cause a bottleneck. Honestly I don't know what to tell you at this point.

Hey What power supply are you using?
Did you do a clean uninstall of Display drivers by using DDU?
Have you connected you Display adapter to Graphic card?
