Hi everyone
I have been getting really bad frames in games, even with the lowest preset
Sometimes around 40-50fps
My specs
amd athlon x4 845
gtx 1050 ti
ddr3 1600mhz ram 8gb
I have seen videos on the g4560 and gtx 1050 ti combo and the frame difference compared to mine is vast, which is strange because my specs are quite similar. Check any benchmark on youtube, they can run on medium settings and still get way over 60fps. But for me, low settings and still lagging.

Is the ram playing a role here? If it is then I will upgrade, or is it the cpu? I'm not entirely sure because I'm no expert at computers.

If you need more info just drop a comment below and i'll be happy to provide more information
 
Solution
Your CPU is nowhere near as fast as a Pentium G4560. Your Athlon is ancient. A Ryzen 5 would require new board and ram. It definitely would relieve you of your current CPU bottleneck.

i play overwatch and waterframe low settings getting 40-50fps
If i upgrade to ryzen 5 and change out the ram as well can i hit a solid 50-60 fps on all games? (medium settings)
