The site looks really bad and the bottleneck part is just a cliché. Yes, the i5 7400 isn't top-notch anymore, but it doesn't justify a change given your current situation. If you're not facing any issues with the PC, don't waste time worrying about this. That processor is still fine.

Your CPU performs well enough to maintain around 60 frames per second in most current games, while your GPU handles 1440p medium-high resolution smoothly.

Alright, everything should be okay. If your CPU seems slow, raise the graphics settings to shift the workload toward the GPU. If it's too reliant on the GPU, reduce your game settings slightly.

I watched a video of RDR2 on YouTube and noticed a lot of stuttering. I’m concerned because I really want to play it smoothly. Here’s the link:

Engine malfunctions for anything missing HT. Keep waiting until the fix is applied; right now it's severely problematic. Note: Increasing GPU settings can temporarily ease the problem.

Thanks for the support, it really made a difference. I'm considering a Corsair H45—does it work well without one? Also, is a water cooler necessary for this setup?

120mm water coolers offer no advantage over air coolers unless your build doesn’t accommodate compact models like Hyper 212, Hyper T4, Gammax 400 or Freezer 33. Consider Neptwin or Arctic Freezer Xtreme for a powerful, quiet solution. Ideally, invest the funds elsewhere—swap your i5 for an R5 2600 with a solid B450 motherboard and VRM heatsinks.

The issue is about maintaining street presence, and I plan to stick with this arrangement for three years until I can afford a full setup.

Avoid purchasing an air cooler. The existing stock cooler is performing adequately.
