Then turn down the graphical settings to increase FPS for the time being. For the rest of the build, I would start with upgrading the GPU and PSU to a more powerful GPU, such as Nvidia's RTX 30xx series or AMD's 6000 Series by waiting a couple of months for prices to settle due to demand. For the PSU, I would go with at least a 850W from our PSU Tier List from at least a Tier B or higher (Tier A).
