Is my CPU or RAM bottlenecking my GPU? If not, what's the issue??

I'll list my rig and some benchmarks below, but basically, I have a card that GPU Boss claims is capable of at least 30-40 frames on arma 2 at all times, and I'm struggling to get over 25 frames on DayZ, all armas, etc. I know Arma is poorly optimized, but my card is a 7970 3gb vs my buddies is a 750ti.... My card is nearly twice as good, and he gets at least 40 at all times.

If anyone can let me know how to improve framerate, or optimize things, or what to upgrade, let me know. Thanks.

My Rig:
AMD FX-4100 quad core bulldozer
AMD Radeon 7970 3gb
8gb DDR3 Hyper RAM
700w Apevia premimum PSU
Couldn't tell ya the motherboard, lemme know if you need it please, and I'll find the manual.


NOTE: New heatsink, new GPU, new SSD, some awesome improvements outside of frames.

Benchmarks: (maxed out)
Nosgoth: 50-60+
Arma 2: 20-30 depending on forest, city, etc
Arma 3: 25-35 depending on forest, city, etc
DayZ stand: 15 (this game blows, not worried about this)
Gmod: 60+
CSGO: 55+
Heroes and Generals: 45+
The Forest: 50+

It is not bottlenecking issues, As these people above has mentioned AMD is not the way to go for games running the Arma Engine such as DayZ and well, as mentioned, Arma 2 and 3. The reason why a low end i3 gets better fps in Arma then you is due to Intel's single-threaded operations which are more helpful considering Arma doesn't even use HALF of your CPU. I have a GTX 970 and AMD FX 8320 @4.0ghz and yet I still barely get 30fps inside Arma 3's cities.
