Recently I bought a new mobo, cpu, gpu and RAM, a new pc:

mobo: z170
cpu: intel i-7-6700k
gpu: Asus geforce gtx 1070
16gb RAM

After getting everything installed with my old hdd I tried to start a game which Ive been running on 60 fps before the upgrade with these specs:

mobo: MSI p67a-c45
intel - i5 2500k
Nvidea geforce gtx 560 Ti
8gb RAM

Using the same psu for both which is an antec that can output 550w.

Basically with the upgrade it kept being 60 fps, it ticked over a couple of times which means its not capped at least. I would like to know why it's doing this and what I can do to fix it if possible. I feel like with the new specs I should be able to have more fps with the same graphics settings on a game like "SMITE".
 
Solution
If you just stuck your old drive in the new setup, that is not the best thing to do. You want to start with a clean Windows setup.

Aside from that, does a benchmark like 3DMark show improvements vs the old setup?
Try this:
First go to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\My Games\Smite\BattleGame\Config\BattleEngine.ini
Open the file in notepad or whatever text editor you like
Once you are in the text file, press "CTRL + F" and a search box will appear
Type "MaxSmoothedFramerate=146.00tly, and replace the 146.00 with 0.
Your FPS is now uncapped.
I think you were getting 60fps (and sometimes slightly over) is a cap. Sometimes fps can ease above the cap.
