I re-installed windows and it actually fixed it, can't believe it was that simple

As a reference, here is my system (similar to yours) that is currently #3 on the GPU Superposition top performers list here on the LTT forums... https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/27369723 (note, this benchmark was run with a reference model 5700 XT at stock settings, not my bleeding-edge overclock)
 
Your system is 100% not underperforming according to that comparison.
 
Almost all the higher performing cards are really just unstable overclocks that people are running exclusively for the test, much like some people do for LN2 cooling world records. (or are using different drivers/older tests that produced higher results)
It is useful for general purpose testing to see what parts of a system may be underperforming. It's not perfect, no, but it isn't bad to use when you have the knowledge of how to properly compare the numbers.

you'll probably never see single core advertised boost in any real world performance. maybe close in apps that only use 2 or less cores, because OS always utilizes something in the background. You do not have grounds for RMA. They always say "up to", which is not a guarantee. Intel does the same thing.

Thanks guys, I tried a few things. Idk what fixed it but I removed 1 of the ram sticks, tried removing the hard drive and putting it in a different data slot, downloading the installer again and something fixed it!

I'd say just about all AMD CPU's do well with their stock coolers, but of course, other coolers like the Noctua do even better.
 
For a 1060 though I'd say the stock cooler is just fine if you have a case with decent airflow.
