Is anyone good with computers?

I'm having some major connection issues with my new computer. The only thing that I can come up with is that it's Windows 8.1 causing it. I will be getting 16-20mb/sec most of the time, but then the connection will randomly drop to 0.02mb/sec for 30-60 seconds before speeding back up again. It's not my wireless card, as it happened when I used a USB wireless card. It's not my router or ISP, because other devices on the same wifi at the same time have absolutely no issues. I've updated all the drivers too. I'm just completely at a loss. It's driving me nuts. For the first time in my life, I have a computer that can run games on good settings, but I still can't play the fucking things because of this bullshit. If anyone knows what might be causing my grief, please tell me.

Is it only WoW that drops? I used to have this issue a lot with Time Warner. Sadly, the only thing I could do is wait it out.
No, it's everything. I've been playing with this for a week. Even google is out of ideas. At this point I'm about ready to send this PC back to newegg via catapult

That's really odd. I used to have an old 54g router that would drop me like crazy, but if you already tested the router, I cannot think of anything else off the top of my head.
