I have the taller rams with heatsyncs. Would would a bigger cpu fan fit?

You would need to check with the individual coolers and see what clearance they have. Some don't overhang the RAM slots (though most tower coolers will).

You should move your graphics card to the top PCIe slot. That bottom slot that you have the graphics card in currently is only PCIe x4, while the top slot is PCIe x16. Running at PCIe x4 mode may be causing some performance issues.

Ohh there seems to be a much significant improvement. I didn't know that both the PCIe slots had different performance outputs. I'm getting a solid 40fps on AC odyssey med settings
