I downloaded the free version of PCMark7 just to see how my computer was doing on benchmarks and it gave me a score of 5682 with a gtx 580 and i7-2600k is this low or is it ok? Only reason I ask is because I'm seeing people with a 6k+ benchmark with around the same computer......... Kinda making me a little sad.......
 
Ram amount, overclocking, drive speed, loaded programs, very easy to account for a 10% difference. Did you do the test on a clean boot? Run it about 3-4 times and averaged it out?
