Been struggling past 2 years to run some games on my computer.
I was also testing it on bunch of games to see whether it's my ram or CPU giving me lots of stutters in games.
My system specs are:
AMD Athlon II X4 641 (overclocked to 3.0 GHz)
ASUS R7 250 1 GB GDDR5
Patriot 4 GB ddr3 overclocked to 933 MHz
motherboard ECS a55f-m3
This system started struggling to run games like CS GO, Fortnite, GTA 5, Watch dogs, don't even know why i tried to run Watch dogs 2, absolutely terrible.
Now CS GO slowly opens and goes to a competitive match, as soon as i go in it starts stuttering a lot, after 2-3 minutes it works fine but from time to time it stutters again. Fortnite gets to like 80 fps but drops it every few seconds to like 15 and goes back, watch dogs only runs at 30 fps and goes below it, never goes up. WD2 is terrible, unplayable.
So i thought about it and still unsure till this day if i have to upgrade my CPU as well or i can just upgrade my RAM to 4 or 8 GB at 1866 MHz (thats the max frequency this CPU can handle) and would that make things better at some point where these games i mentioned would be playable? All of them i play on low settings and i don't mind bad graphics, i just want them playable. If i do have to upgrade both, i can but i wish to know what CPU is perfect in combination with my GPU? (I don't plan on upgrading that as well.) I was thinking about Ryzen 1200 (i know i have to upgrade my mobo as well because it's different sockets) im just unsure if this is the best one i could combine with my gpu.
Sorry for writing a bible, hope you don't mind
