[SOLVED] I don't know what's happening to my PC..

Specs:
NVIDIA GeForce 1650 SUPER
AMD Ryzen 5 3500 6-Core Processor
16Gb RAM
256Gb SSD, 2Tb Hard drive

I got my PC around 4 months ago, and for a while I was able to run most games on high settings with ease. As of a week ago, Fortnite began to play very choppy, and I was experiencing hard frame drops every few seconds. I uninstalled a few things and it was a temporary fix and now it's happening again and I'm feeling frustrated. Now, the issue has spread to other games and I don't know what to do. What's more, my Discord app keeps making me come across as if I am lagging and I have to use the web app because the actual application is unusable for me. Do I need to upgrade my CPU?

What are the cpu and gpu temperatures when gaming?

Run userbenchmark and share the public link to the results.

Hi KEVIN and Welcome to the Forum

As with many multiplayer games sudden drops as you explained can be due to your internet connection.
Check your ISP is delivering what you are paying for?
Conduct a speedtest from your browser.
Ping the game server for packet loss.

Start with freeing up an added 20/30GB of disk space on the ssd.

You have a mishmash for ram.
What speed does task manager show the ram is running at?

2667 MHz

2667 MHz

Your ram is running at the speed of your slow stick.
That's not helping your perf any.
Consider getting a 2x8GB@3200 kit.

After you have cleaned an extra 20+GB off the ssd reboot and wait a few mins then run UBM with the browser closed and post a link.
