Pc help not sure

So I recently got pretty upset that my pc was running really bad in games, so I did a whole new refresh on it. Everything was replaced wires, cards, power supply,motherboard. etc.
Let’s just use Fortnite as an example I used to get into tight situations and my fps would drop to 20. Very stuffers and lag. Anyways. Clean refresh and I even got windows 11 pro with all the upgrades. Even did a whole wipe of everything to start over.
NOW I will say I did not buy the best of the best I have just the stuff for a medium range of performance, it’s on the higher end of ddr4. Now the specs of my pc are perfect they work perfectly I’m just not sure if there’s stuff I missed to install or little settings I need to tweak I’m not sure. Any help will help.

Pc worse after new motherboard

Hello everybody this is my first time posting on this channel, i have a problem with my pc and my friend told me to go to the big boys (u guys). So basically i switched my motherboard and added in a new ssd and my performance has worsened.

  • amd ryzen 5 5600x
  • nvidia geforce 4060 ti
  • asus prime a320-mk (old motherboard)
  • ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PLUS WIFI II (new motherboard)

with the old motherboard ii had 400-500 fps on valorant. I had no noticeable fps drops during my game. with my new motherboard i have 300 fps max, and it drops to 200.

How to activate Windows 11 for free?

What are my options on getting Windows 11 for free? I really don't want to pay all this money to Microsoft but I'm also hesitant to use these Windows activators to activate my Windows 11 installation.

Has anyone got any experience with various methods of activating Windows for free or on a tight budget? I really don't want to fork out all that money, I would rather spend it on components.

What's the best way?
- Salvaged key
- MAS/MassGrave
- KMS Activator

I don't really know anything about this and I just want to be on the safe side of everything.

Complex Lag Issues During Streaming

Hi, I am facing lag issues whenever I am streaming. I am a new gaming streamer so I play games on stream on YouTube. I recently bought a gaming laptop and played two games RE7 and RE8. I am streaming RE9 now. I didn't get these lag issues while I was playing RE7. I don't know why I am getting this now. I faced these issues when I started to play RE8. This issue came up in the middle of me playing RE8. At the start, it was okay. I tried different settings suggested on YouTube for OBS. I even streamed in 720p instead of 1080p, thinking that maybe streaming at a higher quality might have been the problem but it didn't do anything. I didn't know what to do. So, today I took a screenshot of the performance window of my task manager when my stream or game was lagging.

Please give me a solution. If it's due to my ram or gpu then please tell me how to free up space so that only obs and game can use that (along with other important background apps or processes).

(I may not have been able to send the picture of the performance window if the reddit channel doesn't allow it. So, I'm writing it down here what the picture says.)

Hi all!

Can anyone recommend a decent pre built gaming pc for about 1800 english pounds.
I've had a look round and there always seem to be a caveat of something quite poor.
Mainly play COD , battlefield and want Forza 6 to run nice.

Thanks in advance!

Thinking of selling a 6yr old gaming laptop need some advice

So, I got this computer maybe in 2020, and I need a new one. It’s so slow now. When I play Minecraft, there are delays on the input and randomly disconnects from WiFi. I’m thinking of selling it. How should I sell it? Where do I sell it? And how much? I don’t know anything about what it has, but before it was playing quite smoothly, and now it’s just clunky. Also, where do I get a cheap PC just for modding consoles and playing Minecraft?
