Hp pavilion 8433 and 2200g

[Stythefly]

My sister uses Photoshop for her business on this machine and she needs some upgrades the first thing I decided on was going to 16gb 3200mhz ram easy upgrade since she was using almost all 8 gigs at idle if I can fit an SSD in it I want to do that but what else can I do. Limited by the fact that it's an hp and power supply is small what's possible can I possibly put in a new cpu? If so what would be a good fit? Is there a way to get a bigger power supply? I haven't dug into it yet but I presume many things are proprietary. Basically what's a good path. Staying in this chassis because...ya know.

that's an issue. Open task manager and check the startup tab, make sure there aren't a ton of useless junk programs opening on startup. Disable everything that you can.

An SSD is gonna be the biggest speed boost you can put for normal use. The motherboard supports second gen CPUs as well, but the 2200G uses Zen, not Zen +, likely not an upgrade at all. You could either get more cores, a 1600 or 1700 is good (I don't know what your config is currently using, you didn't list it.)

300 watt power supply, give or take. You can run an 8 core Ryzen CPU and low/mid range graphics card like a 1650 super off that.

 

List current specs please.

Yeah i did look through and I didn't seen any big leeches but I should have looked harder and it currently has the 2200g in it I was wondering what to replace with instead(if need be) will probly need internal graphics still
