its a 350w power supply so its limited on graphics upgrade.  You might just get a nvidia 1050ti graphics card and see how it does gaming. Other then that you need a whole new computer. I don't see any other upgrades needed worth mentioning.

after researching maybe the 470 is not so bad....

its currently got a 3rd gen Core i5 and 12GB RAM, so not too shabby.
upgrading either/both of those will not improve gaming too much and certainly not in relation to the cost of a 8th gen Core i7.


is gaming still a big part of it's usage?


there's always the SSD upgrade path.  almost no downtime with a cloned image of the current system and the best bang for buck, but again, gaming performance may not increase too much.


so that leaves the R7 graphics card as probably your best avenue for attack - but again, what sort of increase are you expecting for the outlay?

From the computer in question run a speedtest at www.speedtest.net and post the results here.

Please tell us if its wired or wireless also.

I would also suggest you follow the complete guide in our malware forum just to make sure you are not infected.
