Hello, i have a lenovo y50 70 with: 1tb HDD, 8 GB ram, GTX 960m, cpu i7-4720HQ 2.6ghz. I bought it in 2015 and now it started lagging alot, which parts should i upgrade for better performance? I'll wipe the drive 1st for sure. It's really slow in games, like 25 fps with 960m card

The first thing to do is to check your temps of your cpu and gpu while gaming. If they are close to 90 then the thermal paste and fans need to be checked out.

Then check your hdd. Use hdd tune to scan for errors. If there are none then check what is installed on it and remove anything that is not needed. A full wipe is not needed unless it is necessary. Also do a disk cleanup.

Check your ram using memtest.
