[SOLVED] Need help deciding which parts to upgrade on my PC please :)

[minionbeans]

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendation for which parts to upgrade on my PC.
Here are the specs:

GPU: Geforce GTX 1050 Ti
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.20GHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte H81M-D2V
8GB ram (7.89GB total physical memory, 4.55 available physical memory)

My goal is to be able to run games smoothly and at the moment, I have lowest settings for everything on every game and still experience stuttering, tearing and fps drops. Games like Fortnite make my CPU reach 100% making it practically unplayable.

Any advice or help would be appreciated!

What is your budget?

Not much, probably around 200 dollars? But knowing which part is lacking the most in my PC allows me to save for it if it's out of my budget

Intel Core i5-10400F Review - Six Cores with HT for Under $200

Intel's new Core i5-10400F offers a large performance jump over the previous generation Core i5-9400F because of its six-core/twelve-thread design. In this Core i5-10400F review we also test the feasibility of overclocking through BCLK, or by relaxing the PL1 and PL2 Turbo Limits.
