Thank you! yesterday I was playing league and I was getting only 80 frames, I noticed my settings were on high. I set them to medium and there wasnt that much of an increase. So, I am thinking that I will need to upgrade my CPU as well, but ill run the test in some other games and see!

Hey Y'all I built my PC back in 2017/2018 and I havent upgraded it at all. my specs are https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dryYMc CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1500X 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Processor MOBA: ASRock AB350M Pro4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory...

Yea, I was able to activate XMP mode, but I could only increase my RAM to 2666. I tried to increase to 2900 twice and both times my computer wouldnt start. Had to restart my Bios to get things working again. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/57245589 this was the new test with no chrome...

Here is the new test https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/57245589. I enabled XMP and moved my RAM. I cannot go above 2666 MHz unfortunately. I tried twice and my computer would run, but my monitors wouldnt turn on, and neither would my peripherals. I had to reset my CMOC to fix it. I dont know...

I had like 5 chrome tabs open when running the test, but I dont think that would cause 60%. I'll move my ram and enable XMP in the bios like you said then rerun the test. I should be able to do it later today.

Here are the results https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/57240783. Here is a list of all my parts, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dryYMc. I have had this PC since 2017, and have only upgraded the RAM from 8gb to 32gb. I should probably build a new one soon. What parts from my current build...

Hey Y'all, I have a Ryzen 5 1500X, 1060 6GB, 32 GB of RAM. I have recently started to really struggle to run some games. I couldnt get over 50 frames on low settings when I tried Battlefield 2042, the recent fortnite update has me struggling to maintain consistent frames at all low settings...

I'll look for a laptop in his price range, and then let him compare it to the PC that SteelStruck put together https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7tD7mg. Thank you for the help!

Ill check out Lenovo for some laptops, thank you!

After speaking with him, I found out that he does not need the flexibility. I am going to go with a Integrated Graphics CPU.

Thank you very much! I think you have provided me with a solution.

When I am on PCPartPicker is says that a lot of the motherboards may be incompatible with the Ryzen 5 3400G. What motherboard do you recommend?

I talked to him today to tell him that $600 dollars is a lot of money, and to make sure that he would get full use out of it. After our talk it sounded like the most intensive game he would play is fall guys. So now I think I am going to look at laptops. If I dont find a good laptop, would...

what would you recommend between the 1650 super and the 5500XT. I think I am just going to spend some extra money to give him more flexibility

He is in business school, so I do not think that he will be using any intensive software. Mostly Microsoft Office, and maybe some analytics software. I saw another comment tell me to change the SSD and PSU, so I am going to go with a different one.
