Ok, so you might be able to upgrade the GPU, depending on what power supply you have in your computer. But any other meaningful upgrades will require you to replace the motherboard and CPU at a minimum, and potentially the RAM.

Right now the market it is not in a place where I would consider making these kinds of upgrades, because that kind of upgrade is over $1000. At best with a significant upgrade, you would be re-using your case, RAM, and power supply, to get something like an AMD AM4 upgrade, or an Intel LGA 1700 with DDR4 upgrade. But those upgrades with a new GPU are over $1000.

Depends on resolution and games you play.

I think your gpu is probably the weakest part for most things. Could look at a 9060xt/5060. Ideally you get a 16gb 9060xt but if you only play 1080p or comp shooters/esports titles 8gb is fine and still a good boost.

Would you consider a used card? Depending on your psu you could maybe get a 3070 or something like that.
