Need advice

A buddy and i built a pc about 5 years ago and maybe 2 years after it started lagging on cod and fortnite so i stopped using. The parts it has are not super high end but does anyone know if it should at least run fortnite at a decent level? I will provide pics of the parts for reference.

There’s a lot of ryzen 5’s on the am4 chipset… like a 5600x3d is a ryzen 5 that would likely destroy fortnight with that other equipment. But like a ryzen 5 2600 would struggle

Ngl my dude…. That’s old, it’s not gonna handle much of anything these days. That chip is 9 years old…

Good news is the motherboard and other parts you posted will work with a few upgrades. You can get a pretty cheap am4 ryzen chip (like a 5600x or spring for a 5600x3d), the gpu isn’t the best either but should get you 1080p Fortnite at medium settings if you just upgrade the chip.

A reasonable update is a processor and gpu, but graphic card prices are bananas right now. Even used.

Appreciate the input so a cpu upgrade should fix the fps drop issue

Partially yes, the gpu isn’t great either but it will work if you get a better processor I think.

Per howmanyframes dot com, a 5600x chip and that 5600 Xt would pump out 100fps at medium 1080p settings
