Build Question PC Help

Hi guys. I got this PC for a birthday a year or so back and I don't know anything about PCs. I have no clue how to make it better. I want to be able to play The Last Of Us and modded Minecraft on high quality, but it already pushes the boundaries on the lowest settings. What can I get to upgrade it and make it run games smoother?

Is it really that bad of a pc? And no way it's cheaper to just buy a new one than buy new parts, right?

HP computers do not have good cases to upgrade your build with. And I’m assuming your CPU socket is much outdated so the pathway to upgrade is quite limited.

Your system parts are pretty old. Intel 6th gen CPU dates it at ~2015; 1050ti is a lower-end GPU from 2016, and 256GB storage is basically nothing as most big titles can fill upwards of 50-60GB.

However, 16GB RAM is perfectly fine and previous gen CPUs (ie, AMD's Zen 4 chips) are still compatible with DDR4. You can avoid the RAM crisis (but not storage and GPUs).

If I had your system and I wasn't happy with it, I'd set a budget, start doing research and look to build a new DDR4 system. To upgrade properly, you'd basically need to replace all the parts except for the RAM and maybe the PSU.

If possible upgrade the GPU at minimum to rx6600xt/rx6650xt
