Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice on upgrading my really old computer which has a Ryzen FX4300, a GTX 1050 Ti, a 1TB HDD, and 8GB of RAM. My power supply is 650W, which is decent, but I'm hoping to make my gaming experience more enjoyable with games like Dota 2, CS:GO, and Fortnite. Right now, I'm really struggling to get 30-40 FPS. I've got a budget of $220 to work with, and I'm aiming to get a new processor, motherboard, and possibly RAM if it fits my budget. I'd prefer to stick with AMD components, but I'm not interested in anything Xeon. Any recommendations?

Honestly, upgrading an old Bulldozer like the FX4300 isn't the best idea these days. You might not get the performance you're hoping for. It might be more worthwhile to rethink the whole setup rather than just tweaking it.
That’s a fair point. I’m definitely open to hear other possibilities if anyone has ideas!
