Pc isn't working as well as it should

[GalaxyOfLight]

I built a pc in November and it's great. I built it using the build that Linus suggested for the 2016 budget build. I see people with seemingly worse specs than me who can run games way better than me. When I play games like gta v and H1z1 my frames constantly dip below 60fps. So now to my questions. Why am I getting such low frames and will overclocking my gpu and CPU help. If so, what's the best way to do so? These are my specs. I also have 2 gpus that I own to choose from, one of which I'm keeping. I have a rx480 and a 1050ti (single fan)

- Asus micro atx ddr3 2400 NA motherboard a68hm-k

- Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s PC3-12800 CL9 1.5V UDIMM 240-Pin Memory (BLS8G3D1609DS1S00)

- Cooler Master Elite 342 RC-342-KKRJ-GP 400W Mini Tower Case (Black)

- AMD Athlon X4 860K with 95W Thermal Solution 3.7 4 Socket FM2+ AD860KXBJASBX

- MSI GAMING Radeon RX 480 GDDR5 4GB CrossFire VR Ready FinFET DirectX 12 Graphics Card (RX 480 ARMOR 4G OC)

- 240gb ssd

Well H1Z1 and GTA V are very CPU intensive and your CPU isn't exactly great.

@GalaxyOfLight What resolution do you use? I have tried GTA V with everything on ultra, on a 880k and 1050ti on 1080p and it went around 50-60fps which is decent. AMD is used mainly for budget builds and is not that good as the intel. Also AMD's multicore test showed that it is way slower than an I3 or a G series. 

@kosamchetoo yes, indeed GTA V is CPU intensive but right now on my actual setup (880k, gt430 and a 1280x1024 resolution) GTA V uses around 50% of its' power.

@GalaxyOfLight overclocking will help but not that much. If you have an aftermarket cooler you should try going to 4ghz or 4.5ghz(BUT WITH AFTERMARKET) since I do not know how great is the stock cooler.

PS: RX480 is awesome.

So should I be good if I get a better aftermarket cooler and a stronger psu to oc my cpu?

If so, any recommendations?

You have many solutions for PSUs. I am running on a Corsair VS550 which is more than I really need and believe me that almost every aftermarket cpu cooler will be better than the stock one.
