Your current GPU is far better and it can run all the games with good FPS what's the matter?. Its better to change your CPU to Ryzen 5 or i7 series

I know its good its run almost all games but with lowest FPS with lags, i still want to upgrate my GPU. About CPU i am not intrsted to upgrate it since its cost more expensive than the GPU cost especilly Ryzen CPU
