Is my CPU a bottleneck?

I'm selling an oldish gaming computer and though I did some upgrades with spare parts, the CPU is probably the weakest in comparison. Should I overclock it before selling, or do you think it's good enough for gaming?

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600AF (basically an underclocked 2600)

graphics card: RTX 3060 12GB

RAM: something duel channel 32GB 3200MHz DDR4

storage: 240GB SSD + 1TB HDD

I've tested only Doom: The dark ages and Elden Ring. Both run very well at high settings 1080P.

USB wifi adapters keep disconnecting. Why?

I'm selling my old computer and the wifi never worked properly, so I'm back at it again, looking for answers. For probably years, I've went through 3 different adapters, installed firmware, tried things in the registry, tried all the USB ports, but they just always disconnect, all the time. I've been through 2 motherboards, reinstalled windows, I've tried everything and they always disconnect.

I've read somewhere that these adapters just don't work well so my current computer does have onboard wifi and bluetooth (the issue is with bluetooth aswell, though not as severe).

If anyone has answers or suggestions, it would be much appreciated.

I want to sell a PC and want to completely wipe the drives, as it contains personal and some sensitive data from where I use to work.

What I want to know is, will that deminish the longevity of the drives, and what software can I use? They are rather old drives and I've done many large transfers on them. Just wiping it is an option, but I'd like to make all the old data completely unaccessible just incase there's someone tech savy and a bit naughty.

I replaced the mannequin with my own skeletal mesh and retargeted the run animation to the new skeletal mesh, but the animation isn't playing. It's playing in the asset editor, which makes me think it should be working right.

(FIXED) I just updated my project from version 5.5.4, and the shadows are all gone. I've been looking for solutions and a cause and have been unsuccessful so far.

I've been building this Elden Ring inspired landscape for a while now, just trying to replicate the technical designs they used and learning slowly in the process.

What I want to show is 2 things: The 2D grass texture and the 3D grass growth relating to the materials.

The grass texture sits on a gravel texture with an alpha map, sothat the grass appears to grow directly on the gravel. With that, I can cut away patches of grass and reveal the full gravel texture underneeth, allowing for an almost seamless transition between grass and gravel.

And what I figured out tonight: The 3D grass only grows where there is a grass texture, leaving the grassless gravel bare. I think it came out quite nice. Hope you guys like it.

I didn't post the node setup because it's chaos right now.
