Well your most defiantly being bottlenecked by your CPU, but the ram isnt helping either. If you ever want your PC to be good youll want to upgrade both. Right now you just have an garbage build spec wise due to your cpu and ram.
You need an upgrade.

Most likely your ram. 4 gbs of ram is not good enough to play high playercount games or games full of assets. Most modern games require atleast 8 gbs.

Also keep in mind, rust is just a poorly optimized game for some setups
