Yeah can take a few things up like ram CPU and GPU but your not going to gain much todays games seem to getting power hungry. I looked up your set up not sure if its the correct one though. It looks like you can add a I7K that's better then yours. The ram you can always add more of that. The GPU depends on what you want to spend and how much cooling you will have. Like most aliens these days there isn't much room for cooling so they are turning to water cooled CPU.
Really this just depends on how much you want to spend on updating a older PC or simply buy a new one. Or even build one, heck I built a nice PC for 2g with out GPU.
Hello! So I got the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER as suggested which I think fits great but the plastic fan under is slightly too big. The black patch thing won't fit and there's a tiny space left when I try and close the whole thing. Any suggestions?
Ok I wiggled some stuff and got it to close pretty well.
https://ibb.co/rfwGw1D I'm gonna start this up and report back. Will check out your links if it doesn't work. Thanks so far!

I'm not sure where I can find that. I opened it up and don't see the label with the psu info. Also, I don't see where the current GPU is?
Thanks for the help so far!
