Upgrading to Solve FPS Issues In Games

[ltcmdrdata]

I am thinking of upgrading my processor, and thus ram and motherboard, to an AMD Ryzen 1600x.  My current specs are:

Intel Core i5 3340

Radeon R9 280

8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz

1TB Hard Drive (scrapped no idea what company)

128GB Intel 520 SSD

MSI B75MA-E33

Corsair 750M PSU

One 1920x1080 Asus Monitor

One 1280x1024 Dell Monitor

Corsair K95 RGB Keyboard 

Roccat Savu Mouse

 

I have tried upgrading my GPU drivers but it still is not working.  When I first built this system I got 100+ FPS in games like Gmod and TF2 but now I am lucky to get 40 FPS.  Any help/suggestions would be great.  Thank you.

 

(PS I am in the United States with a budget of about $500)

Hi! First lets see whats causing it. Download cinebench and run 2 tests and grab the highest score. Then get the ungine bench mark and tell me that you may have hardware failure or a software issue.
