Thanks! You helped in making this decision 🙂 Thank you!

I'll try to put some stats from afterburner and post it here!

Thanks! I'll try it out and will get back to you!

Things tend to be programed to use a certain amount of threads or cores. While a lot of games have dynamic features there tends to be a limit ESPECIALLY with older games. That's why apex might use all of it and Dota 2 can't.
That's why you hear single threaded performance being important for games because it means the game can run faster and allow a higher frame rate (if the gpu can keep up).

You have a number of cores...
Games don't automatically use ALL your system resources.
Games that say only see or use 2cores2threads would need Higher (Mhz/Ghz) to see improvements, adding cores does nothing.
 

Thanks for the replies! I have decided on a GT 1030 mainly because of its 30W max TDP, which is the same as my current R7 240. The RX550 falls short to the GT1030--- at the same price. The 750ti's power consumption would just be too high; not worth risking the entire pc for a mere 10-15fps. 
 
I also forgot to mention that I was only planning to play Dota 2, CS:GO, Fortnite, LoL, Killing Floor 2, and some triple A games on 720p resolution because my 1080p one is on my main pc.
