Hey everyone! This is my second post, so I appreciate your patience with any mistakes I might make. I've recently started playing Arc Raiders, but I'm only getting around 40-50 fps, which is pretty frustrating. I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I want to improve my gaming experience. I'm wondering if my current setup can be salvaged with some minor upgrades, or if I should just consider a complete system overhaul? Here are my specs:
- Intel Core i3-10100F @3.60GHz
- 16 GB RAM
- Windows 10
- Geforce RTX 3060
- Asus H510M-A Motherboard
- 1 TB Storage
Thanks a ton for your help!

Before doing any upgrades, make sure to update your BIOS to the latest version. That can often help with overall performance. Also, if you want a decent boost, consider getting an Intel i5-11400F. That could really help stabilize your frames, especially with some minor in-game tweaks.
Honestly, you might be better off selling your current PC and building a new mid-tier setup. The i3-10100F is a bit dated, and it's tough to upgrade components on your setup without going all in. I'd suggest putting your system up for around $400-450, then you could look for something better suited for gaming.
Good idea! What would you recommend for a new build, though?
