Does anybody feel like helping me figure out what's causing games to stutter on my system?

Here are my specs:

I'm uploading a clip of what I mean by stuttering as well.
I've tried a lot of things so far, but nothing seems to fix it, so I'm thinking it might be a hardware issue.
In that case, I'd like some help with figuring out which piece of hardware is the culprit.

My guess is it’s the 1600, as that’s a pretty underpowered cpu for your gpu

[sly lagoon]

Any benchmarks I can run, that you know of, to know for sure?

[keen gulch]

Well, I was gonna say that’s what it was for sure, but it’s not at 100%

ryzen 5 1600 for that gpu only?

[sly lagoon]

Thanks for trying to help anyway.

@haughty bramble I upgraded my GPU recently, since it was the weakest link.

[haughty bramble]

now your cpu is the weakest link, i would check your ram utilization though, @sly lagoon some games now require so much ram that 16gb plus all other tabs open isnt enough

[sly lagoon]

@haughty bramble There will always be a weakest link.
I checked that before. Here is a screenshot

[haughty bramble]

for example i play beamng which is pretty cpu intensive game if your on singleplayer its uses around 18gb of ram

It’s at 8, you can see on msiafterburner

@haughty bramble So, in your opinion, it's the CPU mainly. Does the MOBO and RAM look okay?

[haughty bramble]

oh i that that was showing the amount of vram on his gpu 😅

motherboard and ram is fine

the speed is slow but that is ok, wouldent cause you to stutter

most people have 3600 kits

[sly lagoon]

I hope you're right. I already spent 250 on the GPU and now I'll have to spend 150 on a CPU.
I'd hate to have to keep buying components like this, until I can finally play stutter free.

[haughty bramble]

have you checked event viewer for any issues?

[sly lagoon]

@haughty bramble No, I'll check it now.

@haughty bramble I don't know what I'm looking for.
Can you read event viewer?

I tried playing a game to see if anything new pops up in event viewer, but there was nothing.

look for criticals and errors at the timestamps of you playing the game
