Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to make my computer play games better and what the best way to upgrade it is. I need to know if I should start by changing my processor or my graphics card (GPU). If you could also tell me about other things like settings or choices that help gaming go faster, that would be super helpful. Thanks a lot! Specs: Processor: AMD R5 5600X Motherboard: MSI B550M PRO VDH with WiFi Memory: 16GB (2 sticks of 8GB) Graphics Card: GeForce RTX™ 4060 Ti AERO OC 8GB Hard Drive: M.2 2TB Power Supply: MSI MAG A650BN I've been playing some games that aren't too heavy, like World War Z, Dota 2, CS:GO 2, and a few other offline titles.

Get free tools, like real BIOS and driver files, then clean up your computer by removing unnecessary programs and extra background software.

What about your current game settings or FPS? Do you have the auto overclock profile turned on for your motherboard? This lets the board use your RAM at its full speed and automatically boost the CPU and GPU when playing games. You've got a pretty good gaming rig already. Just a few small tweaks can make your whole system run faster. I used to be an old-school gamer and PC builder, so please let me know if you want some tips on upgrading things. Thanks!

How much screen space do you set aside for playing games right now? And what kind of RAM chips do you have built into your computer's startup menu?
