PC Upgrade Help?

[tolska]

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?
