Something is Wrong

Here is my old PC Specs:
-CPU: AMD FX-6300
-Mobo: MSI Gaming 970
-Ram: 32GB ddr3 Corsair Vengeance
-GPU: AMD R7 250x
-Storage+Game+Bootdrive: WD Blue 1 TB

I've been having problems with performance in games, when I'm recording/streaming and when I'm just playing casually.
So I tried to upgrade.

Current PC Specs:
-CPU: AMD FX-6300
-Mobo: MSI Gaming 970
-Ram: 32GB ddr3 Corsair Vengeance
-GPU: GTX 1060 3GB
-Bootdrive+Game: Sandisk Ultra II SSD 240GB
-Storage: WD Blue 1 TB

I saw tons of benchmark video in YouTube that uses the same exact CPU and GPU as my current PC, it can get battlefield 1 about 70ish fps.
and with my current PC, I barely hit 50fps playing Paladins & Overwatch, and I got massive lag spikes every couple of minutes.

I don't know what is wrong.

I'm planning to upgrade my CPU to Ryzen 5 1600x, so that means a new mobo too.
With my current job, I can get those in october.

But it's taking a long time, can I improve my current PC performance somehow?
Maybe cooling? OC? Ram?
Please help me.
Thank you.

OCing your cpu would likely be the biggest improvement you can get without throwing hardware at the problem, just ramp it up as high as the chip, voltage, or temps will allow

I kinda afraid to OC though, do I need better cooler and/or PSU?
My cooler is Deepcool Air Cool and I only have 1 fan in my case, and my psu isn't in the "PSU tier list" here in LTT Forum.

What's your psu, generally don't want to go over 65ºC for extended periods with that chip from what I can figure from OCer reports so basically it depends on your current temps, and whether you have overhead. If nothing else you might be able to get a little higher speeds without raising voltage, and voltage is what causes heat so might as well try even if you're already thermally limited

my psu is "Enlight Black Silver 650W"
it has 80+ on it, but doesn't have the bronze/gold on it.

What I can find says that that's a pretty good psu, just may be a little noisy when heavily loaded and runs toward the warm end (warm not hot lol) but it's power delivery looks great. So just use something like HWmonitor to check your cpu temps and see what you can do
