I think that you have a program that is using a large amount of system resources or an overheating issue. Your CPU should be faster and your video card is better. I don't think that you have a bottleneck, I think you have a system problem. Your system is better than your brothers and should be performing better. Run task manager and look for a program that may be running that is a system hog and check your temps.

My question is what particular games are you having an issue with, if you can post back with the game's that you're playing and which ones you feel are giving you low FPS I can absolutely help with troubleshoot this issue but based on what you've posted I do not have enough information to provide a response I feel would be helpful for your current situation.

motherboard drivers ? should be on disc that came with board.. ( will connect to board site for download )... bad memory set up. check bios for that. open device manager and look to see if anything needs updating. Have you checked microsoft for updates ? maybe the system is drawing more than the PS can deliver?

Stupid questions:
Are you running the same OS (inc 64/32 bit) and anti-virus?
Are the game settings / profiles the same (e.g. VSync, AA)?
As swifty_morgan asked, are your RAM timings / clock correct for the spec?
Are there any other performance oddities that might give a clue (e.g. startup slow)?
Do you have any other cards attached to the motherboard (e.g. soundcard)?
Failing anything else maybe run a stability test to check if the machine is healthy in general

I got something for you to try. Download ccleaner. It's an app that cleans stuff off of your computer. In the settings there's a box to check to wipe free space... ( under windows tab ) Put a check mark in that little box... ( along with other stuff that's already checked )..... Run the app. It'll take some time because of the "clean free space" but just go with it. It over writes useless stuff with zeros to help clean up SSD's. See what happens afterwords.

an off the wall suggestion, make sure that the game is in the profiles from nvidia, i.e. add>navigate to game .exe
did this on bf2bc on my gtx470, AA started working properly, when from 30fps to 90+fps. and finally got to full gpu utilisation. The game was installed after the drivers, so it should have been ok, but was not.
