Custom PC Full Potential

[joshywalrus]

Hey! So I recently (About 3 months ago) build my own pc! It's pretty nice, for it being a semi-budget build.
Here are the specs:
GTX 1070 Founders Edition
PNY 16 GB of ram
Intel i5 6600k
Thermal Take TR2 600 Watt Power Supply
H100i Liquid Cooling from corsair
Asus z170-a Motherboard

The reason I'm here is because I feel like my PC isn't running at the full potential that it should. Before I bought all these parts I tried to do as much research and benchmarks.
For example, GTA V would run at 80 FPS on high everything, but mine sadly isn't running high, and still hitting only 50-70. Don't get me wrong, I'm very greatful, but I rather be able to play games to their full potential if capable.

It's not a budget.
It's mid-high spec PC. well the PSU and FE GPU is questionable choice, but should not affect performance.
to understand the issue, there are few missing details:
1. monitor resolution and refresh rate
2. cpu and gpu temperature, frequency and utilization while in game.

Thanks for the response! I know for a fact that my temps are also not bad.

Also it has 60 hz

numbers are a fact.
it'd all 3 of the metrics for both components that are required to answer and potentially assist to resolve the issue.
there is no reason you should get less than 60FPS with those specs.
