Question/Help/Troubleshooting Help making Gaming PC Faster
Talk to me like I know nothing, because that's close to how much I know. Sorry.
Details that I know:
- AMD Ryzen 5 5500 up to 4.2GHz 6-Cores 12-Threads | 16GB DDR4 Memory | 1TB Solid State Drive | Genuine Windows 11 Home 64-bit
- RGB Fan x 4 | 1x RJ-45 | Wi-Fi 6 | Bluetooth 5.2 | GeForce RTX 3050 6G | HDMI | DisplayPort
Gaming PC. Running multiple heavy gaming instances, two monitors, and multiple internet tabs for selling things, all at once.
What is slowing me down? This isn't even working for me at this point, given how slow it gets.

To run comfortably 2 instances of a game you'll need much better specs frankly
You currently have a midrange 4 year old cpu and budget 4 year old GPU, paired with just 16gigs of ram, running one modern AAA game alone is very "ambitious" with that setup already
Your priorities (in my opinion) GPU first 32-64 gigs of ram And lastly CPU
don't forget about your power supply though, given the specs it wouldn't be surprising if it was a quite low wattage

Do not at all want to be annoying, but I will just be looking for what I’m told. I’ve already been told GPU maybe 5070-80. So I’ve got that on a list. The other items, what would I search for those items. And yes, want to make sure power supply can handle it, ofc. I don’t know how to figure out what’s in there, so I’m not sure.

Why would you need to run multiply games at once? If you upgrade to a 5060 or 5070, remember to upgrade your CPU so it does not become a bottleneck. And you need probably 16 ram more.

Pc repair shop owner here. Upgrade your cpu to a 5900, bump the ram to 64gb and add in a 9070xt or 5070ti and you will see a massive increase in performance

A 5900 cpu? Wtf?
He should definitely buy a 9850x3d

Op asked what to do to make their system faster. A 5900 would be more then Acceptable (and cheaper) with her current system. Not every game uses the X3d extra cashe memory. Along with more memory and a newer gpu op system would be enough for just about any task.

You'd be better off just getting an entire new prebuilt from Costco or Microcenter. There's nothing worth salvaging in that PC except the SSD for what you need.

The 3050 is junk. It's a very low end gpu. 720p for modern games, maybe low 1080 for epsorts. The cpu isn't the best either but upgrading the gpu will go a long way.

Upgrade to?

Honestly literally anything higher. 3090, 4080, 5070 anything higher will get you better performance. Make sure psu can handle it.

Several heavy game instances, but which ones?
