I am trying to improve my PC please help me out on what I should be switching

BaseBoard Manufacturer ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. G10DK its B550 It has AM4 CPU socket
Processor AMD Ryzen 5 5600 6-Core Processor, 3501 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)
RTX 4060 is my graphics card
My RAM is DDR 4-3200 1600MHz by SK Hynix its 8 GB and I got two of them, same model.
My SSD is WDC PC SN530 SDBPNPZ-512G-1002
I mostly play 1080p as I play R6 in a comp level currently my system gets only around 170fps with everything low.. I don't know if that's normal for this setup but on youtube benchmarks it was pushing around 230-250. What is the problem? I have 240hz monitor so I am looking for an upgrade that can get me to stable 250 fps. Please help.

Confirm what speed your RAM is actually running at. You can check in Task Manager - > Performance - > Memory

Same thing happened to me with my setup in Fortnite. The videos with the exact same components and settings getting way more FPS....

well, to be honest I'm not sure what all u do while playing but the 4060 was never a great card and while it should be getting more FPS than that, I know the last update did somethings to the game that made it run a little worse but it shouldn't be that bad, what all is running while u play? like discord youtube/chrome, maybe an RGB software, or something else?
AssumptionRich8027@reddit (OP)
It is mostly just discord and spotify. Nothing else is on except Logitech's GHUB and razer software for my keyboard and mouse
No_Spare1827@reddit
well, Im not going to say that its 100% this but Razor is infamous for reducing performance with their terribly built software, but it shouldn't be 20% loss kinda bad. if u can I would try closing what ever Razor software u use (I know ur rgb and DPI will probably be affected) and see if that does anything.
I see in the other comment that ur GPU is at 93% and ur CPU is at 50%. so this is easy to misunderstand ur GPU and CPU are measured differently than each other, a GPU is measured by total usage of the GPU cores where as a CPU is measure on a thread by thread scale. meaning the CPU is measure by the individual threads so if a CPU has 2 threads per core like most CPUs then 50% means its already using all of its cores but not all of its possible compute power so it still has some room in the tank for more. As much as I hat e to say it I think u are at the limit of the 4060 within ur system.
Now I also have to ask what is the current amount of Space on ur SSD? I see u only have 512gb and if that is full to the brim that might explain why ur system is under performing

Are you getting a full 100% from the CPU? Pretty sure R6 is heavy on the CPU and could be the difference. That being said, I had a noticeable drop with the newest update from R6.

I just ran benchmark for you and these are the stats
CPU 53%
GPU 93%
VRAM 20%
RAM 25%

4060 videos on YouTube had much more FPS than you? What CPUs did they have?
93% suggests you’re leaving some performance on the table, and a faster cpu can help.
AssumptionRich8027@reddit (OP)
Same cpu! but different rams I would assume
VersaceUpholstery@reddit
Better ram wouldn’t make that much of a difference, and you’re already at 3200mhz where performance basically almost maxes out. Anything beyond 3200mhz/3600mhz is diminishing point of return
Is XMP turned on?
BenyLava@reddit
Yeah that CPU is leaving a lot to be desired. I have a 5600x with a 9060XT 16GB and get 185+ FPS on ultra+ settings. I'd say try a 56/57/5800 in the X version would be first step.

Your main problem is the lack of RAM, it's simply not enough. You need to switch it to 16 or 32gb. Do make sure that you turn on XMP in bios after changing the ram.
Otherwise you should be good for a couple more years without an upgrade. I would just swap the RAM at this point and start collecting money to move platforms in a couple of years.
