Hello, I'm having weird issue with me new build.

Build:
Core i7-990x
RAM G.Skill Ripjaws Series 24gb
Video Card GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 2GB x2
Mobo ASUS P6X58D-E LGA 1366 Intel X58
HD: Raid 0 Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb

So when I'm playing games like WoW I can be running around just fine with 100FPS, as soon as I raid or PVP ( Anything with a lot going on ) I drop down to about 2 fps.

APB is the same way, as soon as I start fighting the FPS just drops, also with APB a lot of the time my computer will just freeze and force me to restart the machine, not a BSOD, just a hard freeze.

Here's the interesting part, I was thinking that it was my two 560ti's not performing correctly, so I tried just 1 560ti, same thing, tried the other one, same issue. So I put in my old GTX285, and I got the SAME ISSUE. So, in my opinion, its not the GPU's causing the issue.

So, I'm assuming its either my RAID 0 Setup Incorrectly, or my MOBO, what do you guys think?

I would guess overheat issue with the cpu. What have you overclocked it to? What are the temps you get when you test it? What type of cooler do you have?

Looking at the system, and what it supports, I don't think its a support issue, I think its something wrong with a Driver, setting or maybe hardware.

But I can't exactly pin point what it may be.

Just thought I'd check it wasn't a typo :) 
what psu you got there?
and are you overclocking much?
you have 2 beefy cards there so I'm wondering if its a power issue, seems like you only get problems when a heavy (ish) demand is made on the system

Looks fine then,
all drivers etc upto date?
I'm not up on Raid installs so i cant say about that being a potential issue
but its looking like that or the Mobo is faulty, as you suggested yourself,

Hi man, sorry I've been absent, life tat...
I still think its the mobo yes, seeing as you ruled out the ram now as well
the only other option is fresh install of windows and WoW, I tried cheating a while back and just ghosted WoW to a new drive, kept all the same old problems as before
bite the bullet, get the 14 or so disks and erm, reWoW your WoW :p

mckibbon17, Sorry to tell you this but you sir have been misled! I'm almost 100% certain this is a simple DRIVER RELATED ISSUE. Hope you haven't wasted your time going thru the RMA process, if so then well, what can one say. Once you have put it all back together
DO THE FOLLOWING:
STEP ( 1 )
Start / Performance Information & Tools / Advanced Tools / View performance details in Event Log
Once the Event Viewer page has opened, in the center of the page you will see a Operational box ( Center Top ) if the box is full scroll down & COPY the last event log here into the Toms Hardware Forums ( this thread ) so that it can be REVIEWED & we can find the solution! I would bet the issue is DRIVER RELATED to the Graphics cards If so then it's a fairly easy fix! One last question, WHAT driver are you currently running & did you follow maniacvvv's instructions provided in the following link to either UNINSTALL or REINSTALL the Graphics cards drivers?
