I feel like something on my system is holding me back. Some games I play like Call of duty WW2 I get way to massive drops of FPS IMO. I am talking alike going from 144 fps to 80 which seems like something is amiss. I understand some dips but that seems pretty harsh.
I had a electrical issue a while back that fried my M.2 SSD. My motherboard didn't appear to have any damage and loads up fine, but now I wonder if there is something causing other issues in my system.
I am thinking these things could be the cause; Old cpu, bad motherboard, bad psu, thermal issues etc
I want to update to the last ryzen and new gpus to use the newest techs anyways but worry that probably won't be that big of a upgrade besides my cpu.
Parts that could be at fault:
