Just to put it out there I am a noob at pc's so excuse me if I piss somebody off am currently having problems with my pc. While playing open world games like far cry, the witcher 3 and ghost recon wildlands my pc freezes for 2-5 seconds and recovers again. If I open task manager my cpu and disk is running high. I have them both for nearly 3 and 4 years so I understand I have to replace one of them but I do not have the money to replace both. Whitch one do you guys think I should replace?

My cpu is
intel pentium g4400 the replacement is intel pentium g4560

My disk is a samesung 1tb internal

Likely it's the CPU reaching its limits for what you want to do with it. As good as the G4560 is for a tight budget it is a 2 core/4 thread CPU with more modern games taking advantage of more threads.

One question: when are you checking Task Manager? (During a game or when the PC is idle?)

Full specs may help identify other potential performance limiting factors.

Use MSI Afterburner and monitor the usage and frequencies of the CPU, GPU and RAM; temperature of CPU and GPU; fps and frame times; and if necessary page file as well. Look for when fps drops (and when frame times are high) and what it corresponds with in the other graphs. This will give some idea what's going on when you're playing games.

I usually look at the task manager in and out of games. I highly doubt it is my motherboard and gpu because I upgraded them last year. My RAM is the Corsair Vengeance 2×8gb
