There are several ways to find out what is bottlenecking your computer's performance. One way is to open a game or any app whose performance you expect to lead to bottlenecking and then close other apps and background processes. Then, press the Windows key + X and select the Task Manager option. Click the Performance tab at the top and check if any of the CPU, GPU, Memory, or Disk hits 100% consistently for a long period of time¹.
Another way is to use benchmarking tools such as PCMark, Sandra, and others to determine what components are more likely to be your bottleneck³. Even using the Windows Experience Index can help with the isolation in very general terms (the component with the worst score is likely to be the problem)³.
You can also use MSI Afterburner which allows you to monitor your CPU and GPU usage in real-time².
I hope this helps!
