So since i got my new computer i have been unable to play some fps titles such as cs:go without a ping of at least 400. The reason i bring this issue up as a pc parts difficulty is because well one i have pretty good internet and two well i was playing with some people on csgo and they told me that my extreme lag wasn't coming from my internet but rather my computer and one player told me to replace the cpu and one told me to replace the pc entirely. So i really need some advice here plus it doesnt really help that im on a strict budget because i used alot of money buying an msi rx470 gpu for my pc and didnt really plan on replacing anything else.

computer: https://www.cnet.com/products/cybertronpc-electrum-qs-a6-a6-a6-7400k-3-5-ghz-16-gb-1-tb/specs/

i know i know it was pre-built and i regret it extremely but i was broke.

thanks for any help that may come my way:)

I can't really see why your CPU would be causing this problem... are you able to download / use other internet utilities at full potential? It could just be something with your counterstrike settings, or you could be connecting to foreign servers. Also, check if other devices are having the same issue/s

yes i dont really see any extremely apparent slowing in downloads and things although it could be im connecting to foreign servers but i set the server search to look for servers under 80 ping and the error sometime even occurs when im playing with bots any ideas?

thats awfully strange that your getting a high ping even when in a single player envionment when the connection is not external from your own network... Have you already tried verifying the game files via steam?
