So currently I'm experiencing frame drops when playing terraria while having 6 programs open (including terraria)  and I have an i3 8300.

 

I experience no such lag on my laptop (which has a 6 core 12thread processor, activated windows 10, and 2666mhz ram) 

 

Kind of annoying playing terraria with these random frame drops so I wanted to get a processor that's capable of multitasking like my laptop. 

 

The current programs usually are running: itunes, discord, chrome (5 tabs max open), twitter, insta, your phone, and FPS, RPG, sandbox type games (one open obv.).

you could always turn off some of the programs you aren't using. since you already have a coffee lake CPU, get a 9400F after you updated the BIOS.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W

Nvme ssd 500gb

16gb DDR4 ram 

Simple run without things running that don't need to be running.  If for a split second hit hickups then it could be the ram.

I actually didnt sit the ram correctly on the board a couple times and caused one of the slots to have black burn marks on the plastic slot.

But the computer has been running fine for months it was just terraria that acts up mainly. 

 

Although I will test it when I get a chance
