Hello all!
My computer has started being much slower than usual recently and I have decided to run a benchmark test to see which components were letting me down. My computer is fairly old and some of the components have never been replaced so I expected there to be some weak parts, but I was shocked to find that, according to the benchmark test, nearly all of my components are performing far below expected. Does anyone here know what would be causing such an issue?

Edit: better test with less background cpu usage: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/56182108
Above is the link to the benchmark test. I have new RAM on the way but other than that I cannot afford to replace everything all at once. I am considering buying a new CPU soon but would first like to know why my existing parts are performing so far below expectations.
For reference, the computer is about 10 years old, but I have, over time, replaced several of the components such as the GPU and Hard Drives. The motherboard, PSU and GPU are all stock from when I first bought it though.
Additionally, I pretty much only use my computer for gaming but rarely play anything on high graphics settings.
Please let me know if there's any further info I can add
Thanks
