hello guys i have a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU and an RX 580 GPU,

I am trying to achieve around 180-240 fps on Black Ops 6 so could anyone advise me on what my upgrade path should be to achieve this? 1080p is fine btw. I will note that currantly I am getting around 90 fps with only one 8GB stick of DDR4 RAM, so I will upgrade that as well. I am a bit of a noob with this so any more info jus ask please, I need all the help i can get.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

First, please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Second, stylize your thread with info asked of in this thread;

*How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice*

How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice First off, respect where respect is due - this is an adaptation of the Animal's *How To Ask For New Build Advice* Sticky. I created this because there's a lot of posts nowadays asking for upgrade advice both on here and on the CPU forums, and I feel...
forums.tomshardware.com forums.tomshardware.com
and the community can move forward with worthwhile suggestions.

There's no need to spam the forums with the same thread. Please stick to one thread, helps keeps thoughts concise.

What monitor are you going to hook this to. Can the monitor actually do 1080p at 240 frames.

Your best bet is to try to find youtube reviews of your GPU for the actual game you care about. Most games are going to be GPU bound. I strongly suspect you will get nowhere close to even 120.

The way they get very high frame rates on games similar to this is to set thing to ultra low quality and then use FSR to generate fake frames to in effect give you a fake frame rate number. In a shooter game have frames displayed that do not actually exist kinda defeats the reason you want high frame rate to begin with. It can't magically show you a enemy that is not in the frames before and after.

Most shooter games as long as you can get a very consistent 60fps spending lots of money to get a larger number will not increase your win rate.

thank you for your time to respond i have a 240hz monitor at 1440p and i tested bo6 earlier and was getting 100-120 fps on 1080, i play on ps5 and i will 100 percent disagree that the switch from 60-120fps is very dramatic

I still suspect you are going to have to buy a better gpu.

In any case load one of the many tools that will let see what the utilization of things like cpu/gpu memory etc. If you have multiple monitors hwinfo is the way to go since it has the most option.
A lot of people with a single monitor use MSI afterburner but I don't know if they ever got the russia/ukraine money issues worked out.

More memory would certainly help, especially if installed in matched pairs/sets.

A stronger GPU would also help, but would need to also ensure your PSU can power it (else another upgrade).

As @Lutfij asked earlier, to give better recommendations, we need the details of all of the components you have now.

A 240GB SSD is really too small for more than just the OS and a couple games.

A HDD will slow down performance. Still good for storage, but not for top performance of apps/games.

You should have, at least 16GB (2x8GB) of matched memory. 32 GB (2x16GB) would be better.

Without the PSU info, we can't make recommendations regarding GPU options.

Win 10 support is rapidly ending, time to move forward to Win 11.
