Should i be worried about this benchmark? It says my gpu/cpu/ram is underperforming, everything was turned off so there was no load on anything

Your computer will "underperform" compared to other similar builds because you only have a single DIMM for RAM. That will hinder your performance compared to other builds. There are also lots of overclocked graphics cards. If yours is at stock speeds then it will underperform.

Is there something to be concerned about? Yes, using userbenchmark.com to get any useful information. All that site does is confuse people.

Well the CPU is only hitting 3.1ghz according to userbenchmark, it should hit 3.4ghz under load. That is likely why the CPU is under performing. CPU temps under load? It could be overheating.

Your RAM is cloked at 2133mhz rather than the 2400mhz it is rated for which is why it is under performing, enable XMP in the BIOS to resolve this. Also using only one stick in single channel could affect the score like said above.

The GPU is close enough to other 1060's, wouldn't worry about that. I think they toss all the 1060 6gb's in there including the ones with 9gbps memory, which would throw off the results.

It's actually at 27-30 degrees (Celsius) and wont get past 50 while playing, it's really cold here atm, so maybe i do have a problem with my cpu?

MAX turbo listed for an i5-6400 is 3.30 GHz according to Intel ARK. And that would be a single core speed. Benchmarking generally uses all cores, so the maximum turbo is not achieved. The 3.1 shown is listed as "average" So it does hit 3.3 sometimes.

One short beep is a typical "normal" startup signal.

Why would you change? You can use the motherboard you have and upgrade the CPU. Without having to probably do a fresh OS install because of a motherboard change.

Im getting 100% on certain games and i do want to stream aswell, getting an i7-7700 would cost more than a new mobo+ryzen, my motherboard cant handle 8gen+
