my pc was built using austin evan's build log for the neutron 3.0 in mind. Core i5 6500, msi rx480 8g, H170M-DS3H-C motherboard, SanDisk SD6SN1M-256G(operating system runs on this one ) m.2, (2x) 8 gb sticks of 1066MHz G RIPJAWS, with games saved on the WD black WD1003FZEX 1TB.  Built it early of 2017 Jan. I just wanted to know if there might be any sort of bottle neck with this build? I play games like overwatch, Rocket league and RPG (like fanal fantasy 13 and will soon be playing FF 15). I have noticed that character load times on Overwatch game have slowed a bit. There are times where I would have to restart the computer to play on competitive without worrying about the load times. Any advise or input is welcomed. I was thinking about getting another rx480 8gb for crossfire. but if i dont need it, for the games i mentioned, i won't get it.  I do like playing at high settings, especially for RPG like the Tales of Series and Final Fantasy.

whats the cache on your 1TB WD Black? if your games are on that that could slow it down

 

also, the I5-6500 isnt exactly all that fast, its 7232 speed, where as my old pc (before i built my first build) had an I5-4440 in it at 6K speed, the I5 i had was a 4th gen so it was a bit older as yours a 6th gen, but it is slightly slow if you want a "Beast" gaming pc.. so its either your cpu is getting old or your hard drive is to slow

no, open up your pc, on the hard drive it will tell you the cache
