I just upgraded several components in my PC, including a Radeon RX 9060 XT GPU, a Corsair RM 850x power supply, and added two more 8GB sticks of Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO RAM to my existing 16GB setup. I kept my AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU and MSI B550 Tomahawk motherboard. However, since putting everything together, I'm only getting around 40 FPS in all my games. I've installed the latest AMD drivers and updated my BIOS, but the performance hasn't improved. I'm starting to panic here—does anyone know what could be causing this issue?

What do you mean by bottlenecking? Is that what's making my FPS so low?
You might want to check your RAM configuration. It's generally recommended to use a maximum of 2 sticks for optimal performance. Having 4 can sometimes slow down gaming. Also, your Ryzen 7 3700X might be bottlenecking your graphics card. Consider selling it and picking up a Ryzen 5 5600X for better performance, plus investing in 2x16GB DDR4-3600MT/s CL16 RAM could help too!
So you're saying I should remove 2 sticks of RAM? Would upgrading to a Ryzen 7 5800X also solve the problem?
What brand and model of RAM would you recommend for my setup?
