Are any of my components bottle-necking?

Hey, have been having some FPS issues in games, and I'm wondering if it's time to start saving for new components, can anyone tell me if any parts are hindering others?

If your SSD is your boot drive, perhaps a faster, larger SSD, such as a Samsung 850 Evo 500GB.

It's one of those things that the user should be noticing, such as low FPS, or slow boots or CPU at max often and so on. Try a UserBench benchmark. See how it performs. You might find that one of your components is operating lower than average (be sure to run a few tests, to ensure consistent good / bad performance).

You could try raising or lowering game settings known for CPU load or GPU load, or raise / lower display resolution. It might point to which (if any) are the cause of the FPS issues.
