It's because your CPU is the weak link. Upgrade the CPU.

yeah, the rest are fine. You just need a better CPU. Try looking for a compatible Core i5 CPU for your motherboard.

and if you want to be on the safe side add another 8GB of RAM to your system.

Buddy, your CPU is the source of the problem. The GPU is bottlenecked by the CPU itself. An upgrade to a newer platform such as Ryzen first or second gen or Intel 8th/9th gen. Also for that you'll need DDR4 ram.

Although that would be good for future-proofing (and seems that the future is near, as more and more game benefit from >8GB RAM), I don't think it is necessary right now. I would wait for RAM prices to drop a bit, because they are more expensive than their weight in gold.

could be different resolutions, settings, things like that... you should upgrade it to a i7 on that gen if your mobo supports it if you want less bottlenecking

I just put a xeon e3-1240 in a dell optiplex 990 with a rx 570. Pretty good performance. 4 core 8 threads for around $50 and should slot right into your motherboard.
