Poor preformance on a beefy build.

Hello everyone! I recently decided that my old build wasn't enough to power my eternal hunger for realistic shooters, so I built a new rig.

Old Rig:
GTX 750Ti
AMD FX-6100 Black
4gb of ram
475 PSU
And 2 TB hard drive.

My new rig consist of:
MSI GTX 1060 6gb
I5-6600k
MSI Z170A M5
2x 4gb RAM
700watt Bronze PSU
And my old 2 TB HDD.

Excitedly, I built my new piece of hardware and loaded up windows. It was then that I noticed a problem... After installing all the updates and drivers my computer would get caught up and hung for a second every now and then. Windows would leave white silhouettes of their old outlines and performance was all around pretty bad. I did a UserBenchmark and got these results:

UserBenchmarks: Game 24%, Desk 21%, Work 16%
CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K - 16.2% <---Note: My CPU is performing horribly!
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060-6GB - 53.5%<---Once again, below average performance!
HDD: WD Green 2TB (2012) - 62.4%
RAM: Kingston 9905622-057.A00G 2x4GB - 37.9%
MBD: MSI Z170A GAMING M5 (MS-7977)

On games, I get at maximum 40 frames if Im looking at the floor the whole time.
Does anyone know what could be wrong? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance!

Benchmarks at least are not influenced by the HDD no matter how terrible it is,games might be some of them.

Go to settings -> power and make sure it's set to high performance.
Run games in a window and run cpu z in a corner to see at what Ghz your CPU is running.

Part of it comes down to the fact that you are running everything from the same hdd.
The green WD drives are not the fast ones but "energy efficient" and as far as i know only 5400rpm.
if you have another old hdd or better ssd laying around try installing your windows on that one, and all of your data/games on the other.

Yes but it still doesn't excuse the fact that my processor is running like a potato.

Yes, I have tried 3 different bench marks. All almost saying the exact thing.

Enable SMART and then run a diagnostic on the HDD. If it's a Seagate you will want to download "Seatools". Can't remember what WD calls theirs. Run the Short DST first, if no errors still run the Long test.
