I have a custom built PC that I maxed out as much as I could when I built it, but this was about 6 years ago now. I upgraded to a 1080Ti to be able to play at 3440x1440 - games like Overwatch run great, but newer more demanding games like The Division 2 aren't as smooth as I would have hoped.

Here's my question - are any of these components old enough that they are causing an fps bottleneck? Might another 8GB RAM help? I wouldn't mind upgrading, but don't want to put money towards something that I won't notice an improvement on.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

RAM would help a bit but the CPU for 30fps in the recommended specs is a 2500k, you need HT or more cores to get past that. So it's time to retire/re-purpose it. I'm in the same position, but am waiting for Ryzen 3000's
