I built this pc I think 5 years ago and it's starting to really struggle to keep up. It can't even hold 30fps in remnant 2 on the lowest graphic settings. Please help! What parts can I keep and what should I upgrade to? I haven't kept up very well recently with new pc hardware.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT MOTHERBOARD: X570 I Aorus Pro Wifi RAM: 16 gigs

I have basically the same specs (a little more ram and cheaper mobo but the same GPU and CPU), and I have yet to find a game I can't get to run at 60fps on my 3440x1440 ultrawide. Granted I haven't played Remnant 2, the most demanding games I've run recently are cyberpunk and Red Dead 2 (while both drop farms they can maintain 60, most of the time at high settings). I'm really curious what resolution you are running at and what others games performance looks like.

I have a 32in 1440p monitor. Running cyberpunk was a struggle for me it could maintain 40 fps pretty consistently but had some frame drops when big stuff was going down.

Sorry that I'm not really answering your initial question. But if I were you I would double check that you aren't running into any thermal issues.

No worries I appreciate the input. If I can get the performance I want out of this thing without dropping a bunch of cash I'm all for it. I've always thought it seemed to run a bit warm, but I didn't think it was enough to noticeably hurt my gaming.
