I play pretty basic games like League of Legends, Valorant, and Minecraft. However, In League I can never get over 60 fps. I've already changed battery settings to high performance. My specs are:
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700 @ 3.40GHz, 3408 Mhz, 4 cores, 8 logical processors
Motherboard: HP 8053 (idk this is just what System Information says)
Ram 64GB G.Skill Aegis DDR4-2666 PC4-21300 CL19 Dual Channel
SSD: SanDisk SDSSDA-1T00
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3050 Dual Fan 8GB GDDR6 PCIe 4.0
PSU: PowerSpec 750W PS 750BSM
OS: Windows 10 Pro Version 10.0.19044 Build 19044
Monitors: Asus TUF Gaming VG279QM 280Hz
I Ran a Pc benchmark test on userbenchmark.com and this was the result
https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/53861003
.
I don't overclock my GPU, I still have around 500 gb of free space on my SSD so that can't be the problem either. I want to say that the motherboard is the bottleneck, but idk. The CPU isn't top of the line or anything, but it isn't bad.

Don't be overly concerned with userbenchmark results that suggest poor performance. In my understanding, the site typically benchmarks your PC against an average of other users' systems, many of whom may have customized their components. Without explicitly asking about CPU or GPU overclocking, and without grouping comparisons properly, the results tend to favor those who have already done it.
My 8700K, 1080, 16GB RAM setup has consistently performed well in games, but I tested it on that platform and received similar feedback. Since both processors run at their default speeds, it suggests most users on the site likely overclocked, which may skew the results. It would be better to ask whether your rig is stock or overclocked before comparing.
Also, verify if Vsync is enabled for the games you play—most do. Pairing a 280Hz monitor with a relatively underpowered GPU such as the 3050 will restrict your experience to lower frame rates. The i7-6700 will also struggle in CPU-intensive titles like Valorant.
I used a bottleneck calculator for your specs; LoL and Minecraft gave decent scores, but Valorant indicated it was nearly 85% limited by the GPU, meaning it could only handle about 15% of its full potential. I suspect there may be more to this issue than just a bottleneck.
