I've got an older PC with the following specs: Intel Pentium G4560 CPU running at 3.50GHz, 4GB of RAM, and it's a 64-bit operating system. I'm using it mainly for basic tasks, but I've noticed it struggles with FPS games. It doesn't lag for regular use, but I'm wondering if I can upgrade some parts to reduce the choppiness in gaming without completely trashing the system. Any suggestions?

It feels a bit like a troll post, but if it’s legit, you’d likely need a new PC with a dedicated GPU to see any real improvement in gaming. Upgrades to the CPU and RAM alone won’t cut it for FPS games.
Honestly, those components are pretty dated. Investing in upgrades might not be the best move since you could just end up pouring money into something that's still not great for gaming. You might be better off looking for a whole new setup instead.
I get that, but it's also a family PC, and not everyone needs top-tier gaming performance. Maybe just a small upgrade could help?
That makes sense, but I just wanted to know if there's any chance that small upgrades could make it less choppy?
