games are not using 100% of my computer components and I check every thing its not cpu its not gpu and not ram pls help me
squad is like 50-60 fps why its not taking more resource from my computer
 
You do not want cpu and gpu to run at 100%.
Normally, they alternate quickly and 100% use of a resource makes that resource a limiting factor.
Squad is mostly a single threaded game.
As such, you are probably only using a few of your 12 processing threads.

As a test, reduce the resolution and settings of your game.
If your fps does not improve then it indicates that the cpu is not sufficient to drive the gpu to it's capabilities.

As a quick test run the cpu-Z bench on your i7-8700.
You should see a single thread rating about 506:

hey so you think the problem is my cpu ?

I think that is possible.

Game fps will usually be limited either by cpu or gpu.

a) Run YOUR games, but lower your resolution and eye candy.
This makes the graphics card loaf a bit.
If your FPS increases, it indicates that your cpu is strong enough to drive a better graphics configuration.
If your FPS stays the same, you are likely more cpu limited.

b) Limit your cpu, in windows power management, limit the maximum cpu% to something like 70%.
Go to control panel/power options/change plan settings/change advanced power settings/processor power management/maximum processor state/
This will simulate what a lack of cpu power will do.
Conversely what a 30% improvement in core speed might do.

The I7-8700 was tops in it's day, but 8th gen in superseded by 13th gen.
You now have 24gb of ram which implies that 8gb is operating in slower single channel mode(that is called flex mode)

If you are inclined to upgrade, look at the I5-13400.

I have got gpu 3070 cpu i7-8700 ramm 16-3200 and more more ram 8-3000 2 hard drive one ssd and one m.2 980 pro and some ali express psu
i want to upgrade cpu and mother board because you have to when upgrading cpu what you suggest i am thinking about i9-13900k

13900k would for sure be awesome and boost performance
However the 'issue' you are describing of games not using 100% of GPU and CPU is normal. Its not supposed to use 100% of your GPU and CPU when playing games.
