1. I wont bother since you're mostly GPU bound in games

 

2. XMP Profile 1 then?

Hello everyone.First build and first post here.Last week i finally built my first pc and i am currently at the phase of configurinfg everything in order to get all of its powers available(safely).
So here it is 
PSU------->BE QUIET STRAIGHT POWER 11 80+ GOLD 
MOBO------>MSI X470 GAMING PRO
CPU------->RYZEN 5 2600 
CPU COOLER-------->BE QUIET DARK ROCK 4 200 TDP WITH ONE FAN 
GPU----->SAPPHIRE RADEON RX 590 NITRO+ 8gb
RAM------->2xG-SKILL AEGIS 8GB F4-3000C16S-8GISB (16-18-18-38) 1.35V
SSD----->Patriot Scorch M.2 512GB NVMe
HDD---->1TB WD CAVIAR BLUE
CASE----->SHARKOON PURE STEEL BLACK
*MONITOR ------>1080p,freesync, 60hz overcloccked to 72 Hz

*3 INTAKE FANS, 1 OUTAKE
USAGE OF PC : Mostly gaming(RPG-FPS-STRATEGY)

So i would like to know your opinions about:
1st) OC my CPU?
I am currently in all auto.Everything of course works really well(except high edc showing up at ryzen master???) . Will i see a difference in gaming if i go 4+? . Also will a stable vcore help the cpu rather than having it flancuating all the time?
2nd)RAM
XMP profile 2 is set to work at 2933(16-18-18-38).I am currently using manual frequency at 3000mhz with 1.35 volts 16-18-18-38.I guess thats ok?
3rd)GPU( just an overclocked 580 but it was really cheap)(Also i love sapphire)
Okay so i played some csgo the other day(250-300fps) and i monitored my gpu with hwinfo.Even though cs is not a gpu-lover game, my utilization reached 100% at default wattman settings. Is this normal? 
Is there any reason to oc this card  at 1080p?
 In radeon display setting should i have Virual Super Resolution and GPU Scaling on?

Thanks in advance for your help :)))
P.S ) Long live Linus !!!

XMP profile 1 sets the frequency even lower .

eh, probably the board not knowing how to change 100:133 to 100:100 through XMP then

 

if that sounds like pointless rumbling, it is. Makes no differences to a normal user.

Actually there is a bios update for memory compatibility.Should i bother flashing it ?

you could try, they cant stop you from flashing back either
