Hello everybody, My question is whether I should upgrade my cpu, mobo, memory or should I get a newer graphics card.  I´ve been stuck on this for a while going back and forth on which of the two to do. I´m noticing studders in games, slow performance and hangs lately.  I´ve reseated the CPU and reapplied thermal paste on the AIO and the temps aren´t spiking, so that shouldn´t be the cause. But with a 9 year old computer it could be anything tbh.  I just dont have the budget to replace everything due to RL issues which I won´t get into.

Do note that almost every computer part in Iceland is 30 to 80% more expensive than in the US or other countries due to import taxes and greed. a used intel 4700K series computer is selling here for well over 500 dollars US. 
A Ryzen 5 3600 ( non XT ) is 299dollars lowest price here, 330Dollars highest.

Buying off Amazon will cause the part to be at least 50% more expensive since the government run postal service charges it´s import tax on the total cost, shipping included. So buying online is sadly off the table.

I basically need reassurance which  I should go for, then I can spend the next few years on getting a better monitor and either gpu or cpu, mobo, mem.

 

All the best.....

Have you tried OC'ing the CPU to see if the performance cleans up? a 3770K has a lot of headroom.

 

If it does clean up, then you know the CPU is what's holding you back, look into a platform upgrade.

Yubb, tried overclocking but sadly did not see much of a difference.

I would up upgrade to a 6 core cpu, 16GM DDR4, Motherboard, and maybe a SSD.

 

Your dGPU is fine for now.
