[Idk why how]

My games have been lagging the specs are

I5 6400 2.70ghz
24 gb ram
60hz monitor Samsung 31inch using hdmi
Psu from a dell prebuilt 500watts maybe
900gb hard grove 300gb used
lagging when playing games only getting 60 fps

Should I upgrade my monitor or have to replace my cpu?

Update your post to include:

PSU & specs. Make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

Make and model monitor? How connected: GPU, iGPU? Cable: DVI, HDMI, DP?

= = = =

Lagging: what, where, how much?

Use Task Manager, Resource Monitor, and Process Explorer to observe system performance.

The objective being to discover what the system is doing or perhaps trying to do when the lags occur. Could even be that the system stopped doing something.....

Use all three tools but only one tool at a time.

Process Explorer (Microsoft, free):

It will take some time and effort to get a sense of it all. More information is needed.

My games have been lagging the specs are

For how long? What kind of lag? In single player or multi player? What games? What settings? Are there settings you can disable/turn off that change the lag?

I know in a game I play, there's Zero lag in single player story mode, smooth as butter, but if I join a 16man Ops group I need to turn off 'floating damage' and nameplates as those are very high cpu use objects, and the lag comes from the cpus inability to maintain playable fps with those active.

So you are going to need to be a Lot less general than 'my games have been lagging' and a Lot more specific about the 'what, when, where' this lag is happening.

If you are lagging playing base Minecraft on low settings at 1080p, that's something entirely different to lagging when trying to play Cyberpunk 2077 on Ultra at 1080p with a 4k DSR.

I’ll be playing Fortnite and walking and it just starts to glitch for like 2 seconds and everything is on low setting

That's not lag. Sounds an awful lot like a glitch. That could be from anything from the gpu drivers, audio drivers, malware, game files, updates, anti-cheat crap.

Does it do it in any other game, any time else? Or just Fortnite. Because if it's just Fortnite, then for sure you'll need to upgrade your monitor, because that fixes everything.
