Hello friends.

My PC has been running into issues with some games, some newer, some older. Games like TLOU and Alan Wake run decent, but not great. I'm not sure I can upgrade CPU with my motherboard, but I'm PC illiterate, so who knows.
My PC was initially a pre-built but I've swapped a few things out, but I'll add it here in case it helps.

Motherboard: ASUS H110 plus
GPU and power supply: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/w2GJx6
CPU: i7-7700
RAM: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Z45XB3G

I was wanting to upgrade my CPU if necessary, but figured I might need to buy several more parts for it to work okay. Worst case, I can just start a new build and reuse my 2070s for the time being and just have 2 pcs for the house, unless there are some crazy black Friday deals atm.

Right now I just game on 1080p due to monitor restrictions. If I end up building a new pc, I'll need wifi and idk how that works with builds.

Sorry for the messy post, trying to get this out before I head out. Hopefully I didn't forget anything important. Happy thanksgiving friends.
