Decent specs, but extremely lower frames than usual

[chrislou1997]

Hi everyone, so recently I'm getting serious frame-drops, as well as low frames in games than usual. :/

Alright, so these are my specs:

Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 G1 Gaming 4gig GDDR5
Motherboard: MSI B150M Mortar
CPU: Intel i5 6600 3.3Ghz
RAM: Crucial 2x4gig 2133Mhz DDR4
PSU:VP600P (600W)
HDD: Seagate 1TB Drive
Windows: Windows 7 Home Premium

To put it in perspective, I had around 60/70fps in Star Wars Battlefront II (Ultra settings) 1920x1080. Nowadays, id get around 40/50 fps. Also, with Rainbow Six Siege I used to be able to get around 90-110 FPS on Ultra but nowadays I barely get (on medium) 60fps and when I do it's still laggy. Happens with other games as well with updated Nvidia Drivers

Any ideas on what might be the cause?

UPDATE: I did a UserBenchmark test and got these results:

UserBenchmarks: Game 71%, Desk 54%, Work 32%
CPU: Intel Core i5-6600 - 66.2%
GPU: Nvidia GTX 980 - 82.5%
HDD: WD Blue 1TB (2012) - 89.7%
RAM: Micron 8ATF51264AZ-2G1A1 2x4GB - 71.7%
MBD: MSI B150M MORTAR (MS-7972)

Could it be the Multi Core Score of 41% and how can this be fixed?

Many thanks,
Chris

multi core performance is for 6 cores to more it is irrelevant

I see, thanks for the feedback. If irrelevant, what could be the cause?

Did a benchmark test with Heaven Benchmark 4.0 as well, average fps is about 80-90.

In all honesty, I simply do not understand how this is possible.
