Underperforming in a few games, not sure if it is the cpu. [Ryzen 1700@3.5ghz]

I'm having trouble figuring out if it is just a cpu bottleneck or what, but I have performance issues in Battlefield 1(Will randomly crash and when I'm in it is will stutter when I ADS I also get audio glitching when this happens. When I'm not stuttering I get like 80 fps) and also in wow(This one confused me, but I only get maximum 55 fps and I can go down all the way to like 35-40). I'm thinking because of the bf1 issue that it is prolly a cpu bottleneck because I had similar issues when BF3 came out on my old potato pc. I thought my pc was pretty decent and I play most games pretty easily(OW, PUBG,Escape From Tarkov)

Edit: May be worth mentioning my GPU stays at about 10%-30% in wow and cpu at around 15% ingame, but one core spikes, which is why I figure my cpu clock just isn't high enough.

My current system is as follows:
PSU: EVGA 850 G2 Gold
CPU: Ryzen 1700 OC'd @ 3.5ghz(Didn't feel like pushing the oc too hard)
GPU: Asus STRIX 8GB 1080
Mobo: PRIME X370-PRO
Ram: 16GB of 3333 mhz ddr4 corsair memory.

WOW is single core and Ryzen is worse than coffee lake IPC. If gaming is major usage, you should have picked coffee lake over Ryzen 7...
Overwatch will benefit from the extra threads but pubg/WOW will not...
I will say since you have the build like this already, overclock it more, 3.7-3.8 should be easily achievable if you are not that unlucky.
BF1 may have some bugs you need to fix: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Battlefront-Audio-Stuttering-issue/td-p/4853371

I didn't plan on this being a gaming pc originally, I had another meant for the task but I gave it away, so I'm here now. lol

I OC'd to 3.7, then crashed, upped voltage, now I got it. I am getting about a 10 FPS increase(60-65fps)

and as for the audio stuff, I'll try that when I get home, but I've got to go to work. Would it be worth going intel? Or would getting an 1800(x?) be more efficient being I already have the setup for it? If I waited a few months I could probably afford to get an i7 setup, but it it wouldn't be a gigantic boost then I don't want to shell out 500 bucks.
 


Just keep playing with Ryzen 7. Not worth the change for now.
