I built my first PC a couple weeks ago and I have no idea what I'm doing :(. I play ESO and that's about it. It runs fairly well right except for when I am in Cyrodil (PVP with a ton of other players). I usually get 50-100 fps depending on where I am, but when I PVP it drops to around 25-30 fps. Will overclocking my CPU help at all? I have overclocked my GPU (I think) and haven't really noticed much of a difference. I have very minimal knowledge of computers so any advice would be awesome! Here is my list of components, not including two 120mm fans that I installed in the front of my case for intake.

The reason it lags so much is because there is so much action and so many people and things it has to load that the fps drops so bad. If you want to enter I would say lower your settings. Other than that, you did pretty well on your pc build.
