Can someone tell me if my system bottle-necking my GPU, because i recently bought a new GPU and the performance doesn't seem like it should be.

CPU: Intel i5-4440 3.1GHz
MOBO: MSI H81M-E33
RAM: 12GB DDR3 1600MHz
PSU: 500W (This is the only information I got without opening my PC case.)
GPU: Zotac Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Mini

OK, those games are CPU intensive titles. Without more information (ie. monitoring software results) it is not easy to say that it is a CPU bottleneck, but it might bottleneck your system a little. Try to get MSI Aftrerburner installed and check your performance (CPU/GPU utilization) as well as FPS.

Overclocking your CPU/GPU will not cause your system to overheat provided you take good steps to monitor your temps and overclock. Good airflow is also important.

I mostly play GTA V (Online & SP) AC Unity, Far Cry Primal.

I have only 1 fan in my GPU. Is it ok to overclock because I dont want my GPU to overheat
