3770k really is kind of overkill for that GPU if you're doing single screen gaming.
Down the road you can pick up another GTX 660 if your mobo is SLi capable and get a 120 hz or 3 X 60hz monitors and go crazy.

i also do 3D art work on autodesk maya and some other programs, so its not just for gaming though it doesnt seem so, i cuoldnt even run Tomb raider on high setting earlier... something seems wrong, ill try another game see what happens

Yeah there is most likely a bottleneck issue somewhere...I love when that happens. :)

After reinstalling the latest drivers (clean install) I'd fire up GPUZ, Core temp, task manager and anything else that I can think of and monitor performance while I play a game. GPU should be your bottleneck and if your GPU is running 100% capacity, you're probably running the game the best that you can on that rig

lol you love when a bottleneck happens? why?

so you are saying that i should reinstall the drivers after checking for updates. install GPUZ, core tem and run task manager and monitor performance while i play the game? 

so you are saying that this is the best performance i will get from my rig? seems really low honestly

I just love to troubleshoot things and not just computer related...

Honestly, I'd boot up GPUZ and go to the sensors tab and see if you can use that data to find out whats happening. Having a second monitor that you can use to view GPUZ while you game helps big time.

- If your GPU is runnign 100% while you're gaming, thats as good as it gets.

- If your GPU isn't running at 100%, something else is bottlenecking.

Look at GPU temperature as well as memory usage... I doubt thats the problem, but it could be an issue. Also install FRAPS and maybe measure the frame rate you are getting.
