Hi, I am new to here, so I am not sure if this is right place for me to ask this question but if this is the wrong place, I will gladly change.
But anyways, my pc was performing well till yesterday, but today when I wanted to play overwatch and fortnite in same settings, it had massive fps drops which I never had till yesterday. Also my computer generally got slower and laggy even when I open certain applications such as Microsoft edge or just start menu. I even got lag on start page so I ahd to restart the pc. This is really weird as it performed so well till yesterday but suddenly it is so laggy and dropped in fps. This computer is just under one years old. I suspect it is lack of ram but I was playing well before with 4gb ram( had lag but barely noticeable) but now suddenly it is unplayable at this settings. So, this doesn't make sense its lack of ram...
I updated my graphics card driver using geforce experience and scanned my pc with avast and no virus was detected as these were the solutions from other threads.
This is my pc spec: i3-7100
gtx1050tiOC 4gb
4gb ram ddr4 crucial ballistix ram
450w corsair power supply
msi bazooka motherboard
120gb samsung ssd (windows 10 boot drive)
1tb hdd for extra storage
My settings for fortnite is on epic vie distance medium shadows, high anti aliasing, epic texture.@1080p
I have video of me playing fortnite with msi after burner on and this shows my cpu temp and usage and gpu temp and usage and memory and ram usage. ( apparently on after burner memory and ram is different) I also had high ping but I can tell the difference between high ping and fps drop.

I would appreciate all the helps given, and thanks in advance!
