Hey there, looking to upgrade my PC, I only really player on FiveM so don't need nothing special but I've been getting a lot of stutters/headpops recently.

I don't know to either get a complete new upgrade such as Motherboard, CPU and GPU or just upgrade my CPU. I was looking at the Ryzen 7 5700X but not sure.

Any help/recommendation appreciated


Current Specs:
AMD Ryzen™ 5 4500 6-Core CPU
32GB DDR4 3200mhz Memory
GeForce® RTX 3060 12GB Video Card
MSI A520M-K Motherboard

Hi and welcome.

The 4500 is definitely a weak CPU so upgrading that would be a good option , the 5700x3d is the best gaming CPU on that platform but even a 5600 or 5600x would be better.

As for stutters in games there can be many factors especially if your doing online gaming such as server lag ,

You should download msi afterburner and monitor CPU , GPU memory and in game fps to give you an induction of performance.


Lower game resolution and see if stutters continue.

I have tried on lower settings, FPS I'm getting around 60-75 still getting stutters often.

Budget is around £250so don't know If to just change the CPU or not. Lets say with a £250 budget would the 5700x3d still be the best CPU to go for?

Do some testing first before spending.

In fivem there is an auto frame limiter try enabling that to see if it helps , test and report back

Not sure refresh rate on you monitor. You could try rivatuner to vsync a hertz below and see if it smooths out a bit. What PSU do you have? The 4500 lacks L3 cache?
