Hello, this is my first post here and let me start with an apology. I know very, very little about PC gaming but I've been doing some research and watching tons of videos. I'm sure very similar posts have been made but if anything at all is different, I get lost and I'm not sure if the answers are compatible with my issues.
I bought a "new" build last Christmas for my son to game on. I was under the impression that this PC would be cheaper to upgrade in the future instead of buying the latest console every other year. I was also looking forward to better quality gaming for him.
Below is a list of the parts on the listing that I purchased so hopefully you guys can get the gist of what I'm working with. The first month or so Fort.nite seemed to be running very smoothly at 60 FPS but lately its extremely choppy. I noticed the memory with cruising around 80% so I deleted all games off the PC and reinstalled Fort.nite and Rock.et League to a new external SanDisk 2TB SSD.
That did nothing to help the issue and I'd really like him to be able to have more than 2 games downloaded at a time. Anyway, any help is appreciated! After googling each part, I'm starting to think this is an old build that I'd be better off replacing the whole thing instead of parts individually. Knowing nothing about PCs, Id be purchasing from another high rated PC builder off of marketplace and hoping for the best. I'm definitely on a budget and whatever I do will end up another Christmas present this year. Hopefully under the $1000 mark.
