What should I do?

[Rusko187]

Afternoon you lovely people.

I've been out of the PC spec world for sometime now but still really enjoy PC gaming. I am in need of some advice as I'm torn on what to do.

So, over the years I've upgraded parts as and when, but I'm really noticing the old girl is starting to struggle on games that I really didn't think it would. For example, my daughter likes to play Fortnite on my PC and the thing gets bad lag when playing that.

My specs are as below, what should I do? Should I be looking to upgrade anything? Something or all of it?

CPU: Intel 8700k
Mobo: ROG Strix Z370-G
RAM: 16gb DDR4 Gkill
GPU: Zotac RTX3080

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Start by making sure you're current rig is running as it should. Use something like HWinfo to check temperatures. My system started slowing down and it was due to the AIO cooler clogging up and causing the system to throttle down to manage temperatures.
