CPU Bottleneck *Please Help*

So I am fairly sure that my system is bottlenecking...

I have a Ryzen 3 2200g, GTX 1060 6GB, 8 GB of GSkill ram, and some MSI motherboard. I am wondering if there is anything I can do to improve CPU performance and reduce bottlenecking. I have seen a lot of things for and against HPET and I am not sure if I should disable it or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You should upgrade to 16GB RAM get a SSD, doing these will really speed up the computer.  As far as your CPU is concerned its a bit of a bottleneck and the best card you can pare it with is the 1060 6GB which you have.

If you have evidence that you really need to pony-up for a new CPU, perhaps update your BIOS when Zen2 comes out and see about snagging one of those Ryzen 3000 series CPUs to do a drop in upgrade since AMD will actually support the AM4 socket (looking at you Intel!  'Mr. Change a few pins to sell more motherboards').

Assuming you have a B340 or B450 motherboard, and not an A320 motherboard, you can overclock your CPU. That would definitely help. Also overclocking your RAM.

My Build, v2.1 --- CPU: i7-8700K @ 5.2GHz/1.288v || MoBo: Asus ROG STRIX Z390-E Gaming || RAM: 4x4GB G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 2666 14-14-14-33 || Cooler: Custom Loop || GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC Black, on water || PSU: EVGA G2 850W || Case: Corsair 450D || SSD: 850 Evo 250GB, Intel 660p 2TB || Storage: WD Blue 2TB || G502 & Glorious PCGR Fully Custom 80% Keyboard || MX34VQ, PG278Q, PB278Q

Audio --- Headphones: Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX || Amp: Schiit Audio Magni 3 || DAC: Schiit Audio Modi 3 || Mic: Blue Yeti

My Truck --- 2002 F-350 7.3 Powerstroke || 6-speed

My Car --- 2006 Mustang GT || 5-speed || BBK LTs, O/R X, MBRP Cat-back || BBK Lowering Springs, LCAs || 2007 GT500 wheels w/ 245s/285s

 

The Experiment --- CPU: i5-3570K @ 4.0 GHz || MoBo: Asus P8Z77-V LK || RAM: 16GB Corsair 1600 4x4 || Cooler: CM Hyper 212 Evo || GPUs: Asus GTX 750 Ti, || PSU: Corsair TX750M Gold || Case: Thermaltake Core G21 TG || SSD: 840 Pro 128GB || HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB

 

R.I.P. Asus X99-A motherboard, April 2016 - October 2018, may you rest in peace. 5820K, if I ever buy you a new board, it'll be a good one.

That's what I'm planning to do- but I have looked at benchmarks and I'm getting far less performance than in the benchmarks with the same graphics card. I just was wondering if there's anything I can do for the time being.

I already have a M.2 SSD, but upgrading the RAM is probably a good idea. Do you have any idea what kind of performance gains upgrading to 16GB would bring?

Well with more RAM you will have a nice cache so things open up super fast.  Plus you need some RAM reserved on top of that.  With 8GB this is impossible especially with Win10 which is a resource hog and what not.
