Here are my specs...
MSI 970 Gaming
MSI RX 480 8g
AMD FX-8350 Black Edition
32 gigs of 1600mhz RAM
EVGA 725W Bronze
Samsung Evo 240g SSD
WD 1TB 7200rpm
CPU fan is hyper cooler 212 evo

I am having issues running more than 25 FPS in dense areas, up to 60 in unpopulated areas, but around 5 in any sort of raids. At this point I'm completely bunked. After research I decided to upgrade to an 8350 from the 8320 which gave me about 4 more FPS is raids. I replaced my MSI RX470 4g to the one listed. I even installed a completely different video card from my girlfriends computer that had hers running around 100fps and it made no difference at all. Is there a chance I have a bad PCI-E slot? Or is there something else wrong with my build?

Ugh WOW! I play with old GTX560 1Gb 256byte ddr5
& get 139fps average with above average graphics now, before I was lucky if I got 60fps.
Here is what I had problem with my hdd it was a 500Gb 7200rpm , but only a 3Gb/s transfer I replaced it with a 1Tb 7200rpm 6Gb/s 128Gb cache Hdd. Zoom not a ssd but almost three times the performance on WOW.

You could move your WOW to your SDD, but that is not going to help you everywhere else. Try adjusting your settings in WOW Max is not always best, I can pump up my WOW graphics to max & drop lot of FBS down to about 39fbs average & long map load time. Also I run Razer Cortex which optimizes my game defrags memory then starts WOW in full screen mode...

Running my games from my ssd. I was having this issue and decided to grab an ssd to see if it would help the problem. It didn't do anything except help my load times, as I suspected it might.

I should add that my graphics only tank when I play World of Warcraft. I play Overwatch consistently as well and have no issues with it and run between 60-70 fps

Your build looks Awesome!
To me it looks like your settings are off in wow & I do not know your HDD r/w speed, your SDD want show improvements in game unless your game is r/w to it, SSD will boost system boot if you have OS on it.
One other thing to get max read/write speeds you need to be running Windows 10 64byte.

Wow, as well as my OEM are on my ssd. I was able to over lock my 8350 to 4.5ghz stable today and it's showing improvement. It's playable, but not solid!
