I've had my pre-built PC since COVID – so about six years now. I bought it at a bit of a premium, but it was pretty decent back then. Lately, I've been noticing that my frame rates in some recent games, like Monster Hunter: World, are just barely over 60 fps, sometimes hitting around 70-90 fps. I'm curious if anyone has suggestions on how I can boost performance. Should I look into upgrading individual parts, or would it be better to just grab a new pre-built unit outright? Also, if I end up needing to sell my current PC, what are some good tips for that? Here are my specs: **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core, **RAM**: 16 GB, **Storage**: SSD 931.5 GB, **GPU**: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080. My monitor is a 27G2G3 with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and a refresh rate of 165 Hz, and it supports G-SYNC.

Upgrading your CPU could be your best bet, especially since it's usually cheaper than replacing multiple parts. Your RTX 3080 is still a solid GPU, and while RAM upgrades are generally helpful, they can get pricey right now. Focus on getting a newer processor to improve your gaming experience without breaking the bank.
Any recommendations for a good processor to upgrade to?
