I'm tired of playing games with this laptop I got - I can only get ~75 fps max, with lag spikes...
It can be deconstructed for modyfying thankfully. Recommend me things to replace!
I was told increasing the RAM would help; IT'S ONLY GOT 8GB, so by how much would it help?
I could also buy a PC instead, so I'd be happy if you'd suggest me a good, budget PC. Maybe I should build one?

Here's the specs:
Model: ASUS TUF Gaming F15
OS: Windows 10 Home, latest version
64 bit system ofc
CPU: Intel Core i5-11400H (2.7 GHz, 6 cores)
Motherboard: FX506HF 1.0
Ain't sure if there should be two GPUs, but here's what device manager says:
-Intel UHD Graphics
-NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050

I'll be sure to list anything else if it'd help You determine what's best!
 
Definitely add memory. Another 8GB should work just fine and gain you a lot of minimum FPS and reduce stuttering if you are running a single channel config now.

But the GPU and CPU are not replaceable.

CPU is still decent though. Just an entry level GPU.
