How do you know if your system is optimized? *pictures*

I haven't built a PC in a long time. Recently I sat down and built one. I did not tinker with it yet, all I did was put it together, get Windows 10 installed, and play some Fallout 4. It got decent frame rates and only drops when looking out across the city (and not by alot, but its' noticeable).

I wondered if I may have gotten some incompatible parts, or maybe did not configure the motherboard correctly, because my benchmarks seem kinda low for these parts. I googled some comparisons on the scores.

Is there a way I can know if this configuration is normal and benchmarking correctly? I attached screenshots of my build.

Also, last question. I am gaming on an old SyncMaster 226BW. Will this monitor eventually hold me back in gaming? I have the money to get a new one.

If I need to post this somewhere else, let me know.

[thread=2453975]Here are some Fallout 4 benchmarks.[/thread] Sounds about right for an un-updated system. If you download the latest AMD drivers you may get some improvement.

Your temperatures generally look OK. FPS scores in 3DMark are synthetic - they don't match any real game, so they don't matter that much.

I just updated to the new drivers and am going to try X-Com 2. With Doom coming out, I really wanted this system to run liquid smooth for a while with no more upgrading!

I have a Noctua DH15 on the processor right now, and 6 case fans. I may upgrade the fans to get a few temps cooler (2 are noctua, the other 4 are stock).

Is overclocking even worth it? Thanks for responding earlier.
