CPU change due to FPS drops?

I have had a problem with my PC for a long time. I unfortunately bought a ready-made PC, does not mean put together myself but I have the hardware list of it. I play games like CSGO, Rainbow, Overwatch, GTA etc. And I have had FPS drops for 1-2 years. When I play CSGO I have an FPS of 150-210 FPS normal, when the FPS drops only come 30-40 often 5 FPS for seconds. Rainbow is almost not playable because of the FPS drops, Minecraft I also have FPS drops. Even if I play all games on low settings, I have FPS drops!

The temperature of my CPU is 53 ° C to 57 ° C degrees.

The temperature of my GPU is 43 ° C to 59 ° C degrees.

There are 4 case fans and 1 CPU fan in the case and the case is also very open, you could say. My specs:

ASUS M5A78L-M LX3: NVidia Geforce GTX 950: AMD FX (tm) 6300 6 cores: 1x 8 GB RAM 1x 4 GB RAM:

No, I have no desire to build a completely new system. I just want to know what the problem is and then change what is necessary. Many say that it's because of my CPU, but I'm not so sure, I don't know. But the games I play are important to me and I have almost no desire to play at all because of the FPS drops.

Not meant badly, but you should replace both the CPU on a Ryzen processor and the graphics card.
Both are far too far behind in technology, especially for new games.
A Ryzen 5 2600X / 3600X should be enough here.
The RX 580/590 are both value for money and recommended.

That will probably be your CPU, which is simply overwhelmed, then simply upgrade to a newer Ryzen

There's no bottleneck but the Fx series is an old gaming cpu nowadays nobody recommends the CPU. Would recommend changing the mainboard to the am4 chipset and buying a Ryzen CPU. Also 8gb are sufficient for gaming, they have 12gb but 16 are future-proof would switch graphics card against an AMD rx 580 which creates every game at 1080p medium to high setting Mind 60 to 60+ can be what else does the frame drops maybe bought a new monitor or something else?

Difficult to say, if no SSD is installed I would start there, games also have to read and write on the hard drive all the time.

Otherwise you should maybe do a couple of benchmark tests again (e.g. Burnintest) to see which components are busy with the corresponding frame drops.

There are apps where you can watch the fps or apps where you can see a simulation showing how much fps and the utilization of CPU and Gpu there are many videos of something like that.

Thank you, but I've already thought about that. I really only replace what is necessary and as I said, I forego a completely new system

Ch

I don't play completely new games, as I said I want to be able to play rainbow smoothly at least. CPU ok, I can do that, I have to buy an AM4 motherboard, but I really don't feel like spending so much on my PC, I just don't want FPS drops in my games

Ch

I have an SSD but it is not because I have CSGO on my SSD and still have FPS Drops that is not because but thanks

"Modern problems require a modern solution" means that modern games need modern hardware.

Ch

That is what I suspected. But if I buy a RYZEN 5 2600 will the FPS drops be 100% gone in e.g.: CSGO?

Would renew everything

Cr

No in CSGO maybe but R6 not because you also need new graphics card and housing power supply etc

th

Unfortunately, you have to replace both.

The GTX 950 may not be enough for Rainbow Six Siege.

I recommend an RX570 / 580 (only 8GB variants!).

You have to go from AM3+ best to AM4 because the platform and processor are out of date! I recommend a Ryzen 5 1600/2600.

Ch

As I said no buck

Ch

Housing for FPS Boost? 🧐

Cr

Then just buy a new one

Cr

Can it be that the new graphics card does not fit into your current housing
