Hi everyone !
I've been rooking a FX 6300 for almost 6 years, solid for a really low end pc gaming capable of running every game on low settings and multitasking but its time to change since i started playing other more demanding and unoptimized games (escape from tarkov). Recently a friend of mine upgraded his CPU and gave me his Ryzen 5 2400g, bought a b450 Steel Legend motherboard with 2x8g ddr4 3200mhz, but im still using my old RX 480 graphics card. With this free cpu upgrade and overclocked i still have less than 60 fps  mid settings in escape from tarkov and it stutters a few times and its giving me that feeling of input lag. i have some money saved to buy both a cpu or graphics upgrade.
My question is, is my graphics card not enought? Should i buy a GPU and CPU? 
Appreciate the help guys ! PS. I know my inglish is not the best sorry 🤣

I'm pretty sure your graphics card is enough.

My money is on the CPU,escape from tarkov is very CPU intensive.

 

Your GPU shouldn't cause those stutters.

The 2400g is good but not good enough for this game.How large is your budget exactly?The b450 motherboard will allow you to upgrade to pretty much any Ryzen CPU.

The difference is gigantic,the 5600x is a great CPU,I don't know if it will double your FPS but it will surely make your EFT games feel much smoother.
