I recently upgraded my PC with new specifications, but I’m noticing it’s performing worse than before. Games I used to run at high settings now drop 10-20 frames. I’m not new to building PCs; this is my fourth system I’ve assembled, and I haven’t faced such issues yet. I’m aware two of my drives are outdated, and I’m planning to upgrade my Windows drive to an M.2 and another drive to a 870GB SSD. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I just upgraded my PC with new specs below. What upgrades did you make? I noticed two of my drives are outdated and I'm planning to switch my Windows drive to an M.2 and upgrade the second drive to another 870 GB SSD. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Have you reinstalled your operating system after the upgrade? If yes, did you install all necessary drivers manually using the latest versions in an elevated command? You also have pending BIOS updates for your platform.
