You spent $800 on this PC and that was recently? Can you return it?

Oh that's a different story then

 

In terms of optimization, there's not really anything you can do outside of overclocking the graphics card and even then, GPU boost will be speeding up your graphics card automatically so your PC should be running at its best already. I'm assuming you already enabled XMP so that the memory speeds are up to snuff?

Well thats great to know then. I dont really have any issues or slow times or anything. I agree everything runs good was just wondering if there was any tweaks that would make it "better" so to say. I do have issues in one game but I do think its the game itself and not my rig. CoD MW is really crappy FPS wise for me. I get 80-90% CPU Spikes and causes me to get a AVG FPS of 45-53

That would make sense, since the CPU is only 4 cores and no hyper threading. Probably similar in battlefield 5, which loves cores.

Would that be bottlenecking?

Anything I can do to fix this issue? Upgrade CPU?

best cpu you can get on that mobo is a 7700k. it will make things better, but might be expensive.
