Good or Bad?

Krave

I recently just bought a PC from a friend for only a price of $200 as he was getting rid of it. I've been using it on some games for a while and doesn't seem as fast as it sounds like it should be. I've only played two games since i've had it as my internet is not the best and takes a while to download. GTA: I was getting around 20-40FPS, Minecraft: I was getting around 150-200 FPS

So i thought i'd come and ask for opinions if its good or bad and what i should upgrade to get the fullest potential out of it.

CPU: AMD A10-7850K

RAM: 16.0GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 797MHz

MotherBoard: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. A88XM-E (FM2+ )

Graphics Card: 4GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti

Storage: 931GB Seagate ST1000DM 003-1SB10C SATA Disk Device

SSD: 111GB V Series SATA SSD 120GB SATA Disk Device

PowerSupply: Not too sure on what it is. Think its 500W

CPU cooling, just a regular fan i'm pretty sure

Also have a few fans one on the back and one on the front

Weak CPU, it's not a wonder GTA V was struggling tbh.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

Yeah i had a strong feeling that the CPU was the main reason, any ideas or recommendations on which CPU would fit best and give good performance with my build?

The problem is, there aren't good CPUs for that socket.

If you want to upgrade you should go for AM4 and a Ryzen CPU (for example Ryzen 5 3600), also you'd need to change the ram.
If you'd do that you'll be looking at around 300 USD...

Unfortunatly yes. You are already on the peak of performance with this socket and cpu (a upgrade would be possible to A10-7890K, which increases your performance by approx. 5% totally not worth it imho).
