Heya Folks!

I have an older system and some parts of it (really a lot of parts of it) suck. But I am super super budget conscious (read as poor and trying to live off an police salary) at the moment.

Motherboard: STRIX B450-F
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
GPU: EVGA 1080ti Founders Edition
RAM: 32GB (I think its crappy 2133 but its showing at 1064)
Storage: Various small SSDs and a mechanical 2TB

I play mostly thinks like Call of Duty and am not pressed on getting every frame available (clearly).

I am curious if I did a few small upgrades like

RAM: 32 GSKILL DDR4 3200MT (2x16)
Storage: 2x Teamgroup Mp33 2TB NVMe 1.3 M.2

If that would do anything? I only average like 45-60 FPS in games at the moment.

Also I only have the stock fan on my CPU. I was thinking about getting a newer/better one so that perhaps my fans arent always spinning up so loud it sounds like the Men in Black tunnel.

Thanks for any advice. I know yall get tons of questions like this and I am sure it gets frustrating
