No I haven't tried overclocking the ram but I will try that. I get low fps when I'm not streaming as well. I guess low is subjective but compared to benchmarks I see elsewhere, I get low numbers. I will try everything you suggested
When I'm not streaming it's at like 9 or 10. When I open up OBS (streaming program) it jumps to around 30. Then when I stream it jumps up to 70 and reaches 100 randomly
I'm sure it's cheap. I bought this pc prebuilt. I've been upgrading it recently. Temps for my cpu are always good.
this is the prebuilt I originally bought

Yea the ram is in slots 2 and 4. I'm not sure about xmp (I'm new to pc's). Chipset drivers are up to date. Gpu drivers are also up to date. The bio is not. It's one update behind. I don't have a flash drive to flash the bios.
Motherboard - asrock b450m AC
Ram - 16gb of ddr4 at 2666
I get about 30-50 frames at 1440p on something like Runescape on high and ultra settings. I get around 50-70 on call of duty Modern Warfare unless I put the settings on low. It's the same story for GTA 5. I can't stream call of duty Modern Warfare to twitch without frames dropping. CPU Usage always jumps to 100% in that situation. I've been told that my 2700x should be capable of more but I have no point of reference. My temps seem to be normal across the board. It seems like there is a bottleneck somewhere
So I have a new PSU and my computer doesn't shut down abruptly at high loads anymore. I'm still not getting the performance that I feel I should be getting.
