Hello. So I am wondering what part of my computer is the weakest, and if I were to upgrade any individual components, what those should be. My pc is built of:

Asus SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 AM3+ DDR3 Motherboard ATX SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0

AMD Vishera FX-8350 4.0GHz AM3+ Processor
Overclocked to 4.7 Ghz

Asus GTX980 Ti 6GB DDR5 Video Card
(overclocked)

Asus DRW-24B1ST 24x SATA Optical Drive

Asus XONAR DGX 5.1Channel gaming Sound Card

Samsung 850 PRO 128GB SATA 6.0 SSD
(I've since gotten an external 1TB SSD)

Crucial BLE2KIT4G3D1608DE1TX0 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1600Mhz Memory

Corsair Hydro Series H100i Intel/AMD High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

EVGA SuperNOVA 850 B2 850W Modular Power Supply

Thank you for your help and opinions!

Your processor (and subsequently motherboard and ram) are the weak points here.
While there is nothing wrong with your ram, a new processor would also warrant a new motherboard with new ram.

Definitely your CD drive. I have one they are pieces of junk. They do work but if you get any cheaply made software cd's it'll eat them. Also mine wears out discs quickly and it is loud. No one but me uses CD's anymore. Doesn't read many low quality CD's either. But optical drives don't really seem to matter these days.
