I'm considering upgrading my PC and I want to get some advice. My current specs are: Intel i5 9400, RTX 3080 Ti, MS-7B22 motherboard, and 16GB DDR4 RAM. I've been experiencing some serious stuttering and low 1% FPS numbers, especially when I'm running games at a steady 60 FPS but my lows can drop to 20 or 30 FPS, making it choppy. I'm trying to figure out if it's a CPU problem or if I might be facing RAM issues. I'd love suggestions for upgrades that could help me get better performance without completely overhauling my LGA 1150 motherboard.

Reading about your setup, it's clear that your i5-9400 just can't keep up with an RTX 3080 Ti. The CPU is too weak for that GPU, leading to the performance drops you're experiencing.
