I’m struggling with getting my gaming setup to perform better. I bought an IBUYPOWER PC back in 2021, and now it’s starting to lag and stutter during gameplay, even on the lowest settings. I don’t have any friends who can help me, and I’m not sure how to go about upgrading components. My current specs are:
– CPU: Intel i7-11700F 2.5GHz (up to 4.9GHz Turbo)
– RAM: 16GB DDR4
– Storage: 240GB SSD + 1TB HDD
– OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
– GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 (6GB)
I’m looking for advice on how to upgrade, but I want to avoid expensive parts that my system can’t handle, specifically in case my CPU might be a bottleneck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Your GPU is getting a bit dated, and modern games are demanding more power. It might be a good idea to check if your RAM is functioning properly too, as that could be causing some issues. Before jumping into buying a new GPU, try to see if anything inside is malfunctioning first.
Thanks for the quick response! How can I check if there’s a problem inside? Also, what’s a decent GPU that would work well with my current CPU?
