High end gaming/professional upgrade advice

TL;DR: NEED 300 FPS WHICH RYZEN CPU SHOULD I GET, OR DO I HAVE A BOTTLENECK SOMEWHERE?

Hello I would like to give some backstory as to my needs for this build.

 

I am a senior in college studying game design and a Varsity Esports player for my college's Overwatch team. I currently have a 240hz monitor and have now saved enough to get the cpu to pair with it. As it stands I am running 80-100fps on all low settings with my build.

 

Build:

Windows 10 64b version 1903

Corsair CX600 PSU

GTX 1080ti

Ryzen 5 2600

CORSAIR Vengeance RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000MHz

GIGABYTE B450 AORUS PRO WIFI

222gb SSD with 12.9 free

 

Peripherals:

Alienware aw2518hf 240hz monitor

Benq xl2411z 144hz monitor

60hz asus monitor

 

Corsair k70rgb rapidfire

Logitech g502

Blue Snowball

 

Overwatch Settings

Render Scale: 75%

Texture Quality: Low

Texture Filtering Quality: Low

Local Fog Detail: Low

Dynamic Reflections: Off

Shadow Detail: Off

Model Detail: Low

Effects Detail: Low

Lighting Quality: Low

Antialias Quality:Off

Refraction Quality: Low

Screenshot Quality: 1xresolution

Local Reflections: Off

Ambient Occlusion: Off

 

My goal is to run Overwatch consistently as close to 300fps as possible

additionally a cpu upgrade would help with game development.

I'm looking into upgrading to a ryzen 3rd gen processor such as the ryzen 7 3800x or ryzen 9 3900x. Would the 3900x be overkill? 

Any thoughts would be appreciated. If you can see any bottlenecks please let me know as well.

What settings are you running on? Overwatch on a 1080 and those specs should be easily 250 FPS @1080p

First thing I would do is use DDU and reinstall display drivers just to reset all of your GPU settings and stuff. Also Battlenet sucks ass so either launch the game from the exe or theres a button in battlenet that says something along the lines of close battlenet when I enter a game. Lastly if those don't work try opening task manager during a game to see if anything hits 100% though I severely doubt that its a hardware bottleneck

What does your "Esports Professional CLub" recommend to get?  They should have some minimum level of gear for the sport you play, similar to other sports?

With the specs you listed, you should be getting quote a lot better. What happens when you mess with the settings? My roommate's got a almost the same specs but with an R9 Fury, much less capable GPU, and gets pretty consistent 120+ fps on high.

I'll give those a try and get back to you

The standard build at our Arena is an Omen Sponsored setup with a 144hz monitor. I'm looking to push past the minimum requirements of my Varsity team however.

I've run DDU and installed latest drivers. I do see an increase of about 20 fps, however it's still below 144fps at times and I'm aiming for consistent 240+ even in teamfights. With that in mind do you know what I may need to upgrade for that to happen?

 

(additionally ran task manager and nothing hits 100, cpu goes up to a solid 60-70% at times where I see the fps dips though)

I've upgraded my drivers which gave me about 20fps back but it still drops below 144fps at times. Side note even when running on high I tend to get very similar fps values so I don't believe my graphics card is struggling at all with this it seems CPU dependent from what I can tell.

 

Regardless of what I tweak I'm asking what the most efficient way to get consistent 240+ frames is?
