Hi. I have a decent computer, all though games like Miscreated, and Escape From Tarkov are laggy in towns etc even on low. Better optimized games, I can play on high, like Battlefield 1. But there is a lot of games like the ones I mentioned that lags even on low..

Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should do? I have a budget of only 500$... My cpu is clocked at 4.2ghz, tried to push it higher but crashed. So it's stable for now at 4.2...

here is my specs:
AMD FX-8320 8-Core Processor
Radeon RX 480 4GB Dual
Kingston DDR3 HyperX 1866MHz 16GB KIT
Samsung SSD 840 Series 250GB 2.5" OEM
ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0, Socket-AM3+
Cooler Master B600 VER.2, 600W PSU

Your CPU would be the most obvious bottleneck honestly. I suggest upgrading to something more current perhaps RYZEN. For 500 you can get a good CPU, Motherboard and new RAM. The FX-8320 will decent in multi-task loads handles most game on the same level as an old i3 so not that well. A new CPU will eliminate that bottleneck and new RAM will also help a lot.
