For about a year and a half my PC performance has been steadily dropping to the point where I can't even properly play games that I ran smoothly when the PC was brand new.
I've replaced and upgraded the PSU and GPU at recommendation of the forums but that hasn't actually helped but instead it appears to have gotten 10 times worst than it was before.
For comparison when my PC was new I could run Arma 3 on average 30 FPS up to a maximum of around 50 on High settings, now I'm running it on average 10 FPS on the lowest possible settings.
The first thing I replaced was the GPU after people suggested that it might've been burnt up somehow.
The second thing I replaced was the PSU after the GPU didn't help because they said the problem was most likely that my PSU was not capable of handling my set and was dying.
I'm looking for advice on how I can resolve this issue without having to replace every part in the PC to find the problem.
My PC is about 3 years old and is a prebuilt CyberPowerPC from best buy.
