RX 580 underperforming

[kurapikurta]

Whenever I play some games like Overwatch, Valorant, etc. the most frames my pc can run with those games are never above 144fps, It's also my first time having a pc built so I don't have the knowledge to do certain things, I think the problem is my CPU and PSU but I'm not so sure about it, so here are my pc specs, which should I upgrade?

 

CPU: Ryzen 3400g

GPU: rx580 4gb

RAM: 16gb

PSU: 650w

 

Edit: all of my drivers are also up to date

What is the refresh rate of your monitor?

 

What, if anything, is the in-game frame rate cap set to?

 

Is Vsync or any type of adaptive sync on?

The refresh rate of my monitor is on 60hz but i can still see the max framerates my pc can go when i'm playing games because it's uncapped, my vysync is off

ammm .. just run vsync with 60hz then. 

Anyway, if you think you should get more performance based on benchmarks or similar, first start monitoring your temperatures. Also, what 580 model do you have? There were huge differences in coolers, stock clocks etc. Also check utilization of CPU and GPU.
