My friend and I put a computer together with used parts and we feel like there is a component holding it back.
We believe it is the CPU.

 

Overclocked CPU & RAM to the limit before I had to clear CMOS

 

Cinebench Multicore: 3552

3D Mark TimeSpy: 2313

 

The Parts:

CPU: AMD FX-8350 8-Core Black Edition

Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43

Cooler: Generic Master Cooler

Ram: G.SKILL DDR3 1866 4GBx2

HD: 500GB 7200RPM Barracuda

Power Supply: ARESGAME Power Supply 500W 80+ Bronze

GPU: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce 770 2GB GDDR5

Holding it back in what way? What kind of performance you expect? You have a GPU from 2013 and a CPU from 2012 (and one that was bad in 2012 too).

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

Easiest upgrade would be RAM go to 16gb, Then SSD because its an overall huge performance boost. If you upgrade RAM and SSD then go for the best GPU you can buy, nothing less than an Nvidia 1060.
