So I have an i7-6400, with 960 nividia gpu, 16 gb or ram, and I would regularly get 200+ FPS on fancy settings. I build a new computer, i9-9900k, nvidia 1070ti, 32 gb ram, and I can't get out of 60 fps with the same settings, and it drops to 30 fps often. I have no idea where to start to find out why this might be the case, I am open to suggestions?

it automaticly syncs your framerate with the refresh rate of your monitor
Yes.
Basically, when your framerate is different from your display's refresh rate, something called 'tearing' can occur. When this happens, it might look like the upper half and lower half of your screen are displaced. This happens because the next frame is already calculated by your graphics card, while the previous one is still being displayed on your screen, one line at a time. So, the data for the next frame overwrites the previous frame, and you get two results in one. Here's an example in Portal:
When you enable V-sync in the options menu, it forces your graphics card to only send a new frame to your display when your display wants it. This way, the graphics card can never really interrupt the display while it's working.
However, it also means that your graphics card can put out as many frames per second as your display wants at most . What's even worse, whenever your FPS drops below that refresh rate, your FPS is halved! Why? Because FPS between 30 and 60 would mean that it would also overwrite a frame in progress! That's the drops to 30 FPS you're experiencing. Additionally, if a frame is finished very early, it takes a relatively long time to get displayed on the screen, which might feel laggy to control.
So, most people prefer to have it disabled, and so do you. You can find it in Options > Video Options .
There are suggestions floating around for limiting your FPS to (2 * screen refresh rate) + 1 to minimize screen tearing without the problems that come with vsync. In your case, you'd limit the FPS to 120 (since 121 isn't possible).

Post a screenshot with F3 enabled and your JVM arguments.

Either you've got v-sync enabled or you're a victim of Windows 10 DWM, which enables forces v-sync for every windowed application.Actually, it says v-sync right there in the top left.
Check if hitting F11 helps. If it doesn't, make sure v-sync is disabled.
What is V-sync?

Thanks so much, that fixed it, no tearing at 700 FPS
