The part that could boost your FPS is the graphics card.

I play BF1 on a RX 580 with 8GB RAM and it runs perfectly. Your 2GB of memory on a GTX960 is outdated for modern games; you’d likely need around 6GB to run smoothly at high or ultra settings. You might discover some solid used GPUs on the market after the mining crash or from people upgrading to newer models. I’d aim for a GTX 1060 or an RX 580.
You definitely don’t want to combine different RAM types. What you need is another 8GB stick at 2666MHz from Kingston Savage, matching the exact CAS latency of your current unit. If not, opt for a 2x8GB package. Mixing brands, speeds, latencies, or timing configurations can cause performance issues or even prevent booting if you attempt to use them in the same channel. Most motherboards are designed to keep RAM in the same slot together—typically slots 1 and 3 are on different channels.
Due to the unavailability of the products in Mexico, it seems they’re out of stock. With the shortage, they clearly made a mistake. I’ll attempt to place an order and see what’s possible—if not a 2x8, I’ll settle for something else. Appreciate the effort.
I haven’t made any adjustments yet. I’m not sure if changing drivers was necessary after switching from NVIDIA to AMD.
There are certain items you simply can't find, and when you do, they often come with high costs. You can purchase products from the US, but then face steep import charges. I recently bought an RX580 for $248 plus an additional $50 in fees.
Sorry for the delayed response. I left my stock behind, but you can target around 1450-1500mhz if you're lucky. Switching from Nvidia to AMD requires installing DDU and removing all Nvidia drivers. After that, install your new card and the RX580 drivers—maybe you'll need HD drivers during the process. I don't recall if it worked to show images through the GPU without drivers. Enjoy!
