Remember to put overwatch at 100% render scale!

 

It should make you hit about 160~ on ultra :)

Yes I did put it on 100% :) Although I'm still getting a bit subpar fps (I avg around 90 something). Is it due to my slow RAM speed or is it also a CPU bottleneck?

This has nothing to do with your RAM. Overwatch is VERY CPU intensive, so the i5 might be holding you back a little bit...
