I'm new to PC gaming and I'm struggling with performance issues. I want to upgrade my setup because I can't even run Minecraft smoothly; I keep experiencing FPS drops. I'm not sure if I should just sell my current PC or go ahead and upgrade it. Here are my specs: Ryzen 5 4500 6-core processor, 16GB RAM, RTX 3050 8GB, and 500GB on the C drive plus a 2TB SSD. Any advice would be appreciated!

Your setup should handle Minecraft well unless you have a ton of mods. Are you running any heavy mods or shader packs? That could definitely cause lag. If you're just using a few texture packs, then it may just need some optimization.
Honestly, your PC seems pretty solid for gaming, but Minecraft can be picky with performance. Before considering a full upgrade, try tweaking your game settings to see if that improves the FPS. If you're still not satisfied, consider upgrading your CPU to a Ryzen 5 5600—it could give you a nice boost!
Nope, just three texture packs on an Aternos server!
