Hi I have an I5 3750 processor, corsair vengeance 1600 8gb, and GeForce gtx 660 superclocked. Am I bottlenecking anywhere? if I upgrade my ram to gaming ram would that do it? Thank you?

Well, spend time reading reviews on different Cpu's, video cards, ram, motherboards etc. and you'll start to form your own opinion based on them. Also, spend time reading reviews from different websites as well. Generally, numbers don't lie and you can find what will work for you based on games played or workload needed for parts. I have Tom's bookmarked for reviews, as well as Anandtech; and also have techPowerup listed for a good reviews from other sites directory, as well as their own.

Of course, everyone who posts suggestions on Tom's has their own parts preference/bias as well.

At worst you are Cas 11, and even though it's sub-optimal, you will be just fine. Like Tradesman1 said, you aren't bottlenecking anywhere. You might be able to get better Ram, but I don't think you'd notice any difference. Just because you can benchmark and show a difference, doesn't mean you'll actually see a difference in gameplay.

Sorry for the lack of details my apologizes. Im running 2-4gb of ddr3 240 pin 1600 corsair vengeance.

Also I have an asrock extreme 3 Intel board. What's the best and fastest ram I can use for gaming possible without bottlenecking anywhere.

Thanks sorry again for missing details

I don't feel like I am when just gaming but streaming I diffenently feel like I have a sharp performance drop.

Also how do you know what components will work better with another one? I'm always looking to learn as much as I can.
