maybe it was just a dream all along.

 

you should give us the exact PC specifications using pcpartpicker.com and also tell us the games you are playing, and what resolution and refresh rate you are targeting, and tell us the framerates you are getting.

A refresh rate is how many times your monitor can refresh itself. Most monitors are 60Hz, so you usually look to get 60 fps in your games.

 

Do you fail to get 60fps in games you play, like GTA?

How do I give u specs like is there a way on the pc to know what specs I got 

[Cowboyk56]

go to task manager on windows, then click on performance. It shows cpu, memory, and gpu. should give names of specs.

I realized i didn't go into detail on how to get task manager up. While on windows home screen, click the windows button on keyboard. Then search up task manager.

There's a free program called CPU-Z that is very useful for showing PC components. 

https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

There are tons of ways to look up your pc parts 

 

Press start 

Type 

dxdiag 

Press enter 

 

 

And a new window shows up. There is the first half of the information we need. The second half is on the next tap called monitor or screen. 

 

This is where you find your GPU

CPU name is amd fx-8350

main board is sabertooth 990fx r3.0

memory is ddr3 16 gbytes

spd is ddr3 8gbytes

graphics is Radeon rx 470 graphics

Not bad specs, should be able to run most games at low settings at 60fps. The rx 470 will show its age. if its stuttering, you could lock framerate, increase quaility settings to put more stress on gpu. What games are you playing and what frames/settings do you want to run at.

if you get 28fps or lower. Could be gpu is being stress two much, so lower quality settings on the game.

The FX 8350 is a super old CPU, really bad for modern games. That motherboard is pretty powerful so if you wanted to, you could overclock the CPU a lot (assuming you know how to and have a good CPU cooler) but that will only get you so far.

 

If you want better game performance, I recommend getting a better CPU, motherboard, and ram.

Your computer is older than the dinosaurs of years past. Whole new build time

What can I add to make it better like what better graphics what better so like better components or is it worth just getting a new pc I wanna run every thing so smooth no problems at all

For motherboard and CPU, used from eBay or local like facebook marketplace is what I recommend. A B450 motherboard and a Ryzen CPU would be cheap and give a big improvement, like a Ryzen 5 2600. Or if you find one, a Ryzen 5 1600 AF, but they are not as common.

 

For ram, 2x8GB of 3200MHz is a good option. Not very expensive, and Ryzen processors like fast ram. Make sure you don't get 1x8 because single channel will hurt your bandwidth, and performance will suffer.
