Identify the weak link in my gaming PC!

Just got a Hyper Evo and overclocked to a stable 4.5Ghz. That seemed to help a bit! One thing I've noticed while playing PoE is that performance drops a lot over time as I'm playing, which may be a RAM issue since it's quite slow. But right now RAM is too expensive. Also, I get a lot of dropped frames when around many mobs and many particle effects, which is to be expected.
you could try and bump up the ram a bit even 1600(11/11/11/28) would help and turn down the particle effects a bit.

wow, 4.5ghz is nice. i stopped mine at 4ghz and called it a day.
most fx chips with a 212 or better will do 4.5G with 1.35v or less no problem.

I've never done this before and I'm a little hesitant but I'd be willing to try. Is there some sort of guide or youtube video you know of that can help me with this? Thanks for the suggestion!
 
yeah any ram oc vid will show you or search for your specific mobo. its pretty simple, enter bios go to ram section and manually set it to 1600 with 11 11 11 28 timings, voltage I wouldn't bump too much due to no heat sink but if you have to you should be fine with 1.55v IF it needs it.
