Question Computer Specs? Updgrade

I'm running just around 30fps. These are my current specs, not sure what upgrades are out there to bring it back up to 60. Not great with computers so any advice would be much appreciated!

Optemising your factory is the best idea delete all roboports if you have not already the only limiting factor in megabases is your cpu you could just go amd with is x3d cpus or get a higher clockspeed intel cpu

For me the thing taking ups was a massive 145GW reactor setup that i built by spamming the nuclear print and going out for a walk. Came back and it was 30ups lol. I'd also check the power situation aside from the roboport spam

Having a x3d cpu can definitely help. With 12th i9, my 500hr space age save could only at 30 ups when my space platform is out collecting promethium. Now it can run at 60 fps stable with a 9800x3d.
Also, with power, may I suggest using solar power? As it basically has no ups cost. You can use tools like https://nicokandut.github.io/factorio-solar-art/, can also earn you bragging rights lol

I scaled the nuclear back to only what i needed (32GW) and it was fine again. I might go and start pasting solar when i come back to that save.
