I'm helping my brother with his PC upgrade since he's been struggling with low FPS in games like Valorant and Warzone. What should he prioritize for upgrading first? Here are his current specs:
- CPU: Intel Core i7 8700K @ 3.70GHz
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (MSI)
- RAM: (2x) 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR4 @ 1069MHz (15-15-15-36)
- Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING (LGA1151)

Definitely suggest upgrading the RAM! Getting 32GB of 3200MHz would really help boost performance.
Make sure he checks if XMP is enabled in the BIOS. His RAM speed seems off at 1069MHz, which could be limiting performance.
Yeah, it turns out it was disabled!
