Bottleneck on my PC?

Go to solution Solved by Dailyquinn,

Nah, ram shouldn't be an issue at all. Had the exact same amount, both per-stick and total (albeit at a lower speed) and I never even maxed it out, no matter what I was doing. Only issue was CPU for me, just couldn't keep pace with modern loads very well.

Tl;Dr, you should be fine, but you may want an upgrade sooner or later.

 

You're probably good, but at the same time you might want to think about upgrading your CPU... Which in turn (due to what hardware you have) would mean either throwing more power at it (fx-9xxx processor) or a Mobo and ram upgrade as well. I just upgraded from a phenom x6 1090t a while back, and that was causing a slight bottleneck for my overclocked 1050 FTW. Since your GPU being about twice as powerful, you might need a tiny bit more horsepower to keep it properly fed.
