Help! I'm a total noob.

[Reagle1330]

Hello, i watch ltt videos on youtube all the time. Love it! Thought this would be the best place for to ask for help. So im doing college online. I have a wife and 8 month old daughter. So I dont have $1000 to spend. But i do have an Acer Aspire 5 with the ryzen 3 and vega 3 graphics. 128gb ssd. 4gb ddr4 ram. Open 2.5inch data slot and open ram slot. I'm wondering what I can do to my laptop to be able to run more than just minecraft (which I love). Thanks for any tips and help!

with that setup you won't be able to run any newer titles or even some old ones. but it should be fine for very old games

i would say look into emulating retro games that you totally own

As its a laptop, all you'll be able to upgrade is the RAM and SSD.

Putting a second stick of RAM will get you up to 20% better performance but that's about all you're going to be able to do, that is not a very powerful laptop at all.

upgrade your ram and you are good to go
