I've been facing a frustrating issue where my PC drops frames per second (FPS) consistently, even with relatively decent specs. I have a GTX 1060 graphics card, 16GB of RAM, and an Intel processor (I think it's a 7330?). It seems like a solid setup, but I'm experiencing severe FPS drops in games like Minecraft and Terraria. The computer is well-ventilated, free of dust, and nothing feels loose or broken inside. Is there a potential fix for this problem, or is it just the case that my machine is too old?

I actually noticed that you mentioned having a '7330' processor, but I couldn't find one with that name. You might want to verify your CPU model. It’s essential to know accurate specs. You could use a tool like HWiNFO to get a proper read on your hardware.
Have you considered reapplying thermal paste to the CPU and GPU? It can really make a difference in cooling and performance. Sometimes, older machines get performance issues because the thermal paste dries out over time.
Your setup is somewhat dated by today’s standards, but it should handle games like Minecraft and Terraria just fine, especially at 1080p. My guess is overheating could be a factor if the thermal paste is aged. It might be worth checking your temperatures.
