Hi, currently I have a pre-build I bought it used for like 100 bucks, it's a HP ProDesk with an I5-4570 CPU, 4Gb of DDR3 Ram, a 500Gb Hard Drive and a 300Watts power supply

I would like to know what could I upgrade without switching the power supply and the CPU just to get more performance out of it.

Thanks for your help ?

Get an SSD (MX500 is good quality, don't get M.2 version as your mobo has no m2 slots) and a GTX 1650, along with 4GB more DDR3

ewwww, GTX 1650.. god no... piss poor performance and more expensive than the better RX570. 1650 should never exist and should NEVER be recommended.

it's in case his PSU doesn't have a GPU power pin, i'd go for the 570 too
