Depends what the rest of your system is and what you want to do with it. We need far more information than what you've provided.

Upgrading the RAM to a higher speed is an easy one, and will net pretty good gains with the iGPU.

Wait for Black Friday sales.

Welcome to the forum

 

When asking for advise, there's really no such thing as too much information. And in your case there's a pretty big lack of it. It would help if we knew your budget for the upgrade, your intended use for the computer, and full specifications of the system you have, including even stuff like the case, psu, monitor, etc. They may not directly affect the speed of your computer, but they do determine what upgrades are possible and/or make sense

Don't worry about that questions about detailed configuration - I don't even know for what, because you provided must important config in your first post and I don't think that case model or motherboard model can change anything.

 

People, stop asking for config if it's not necessary! It's like math - if you have only few variables known, but enough to solve problem, then figure out rest. It's obvious that op has motherboard that can handle his cpu etc.

 

GPU is the most obvious recommendation - it makes bigger difference that is very noticeable for everyone. Upgrading ram to faster one without gpu can't give any real speed improvement. And gpu upgrade is safe - no waste of any parts and if op will want to upgrade other parts in the future - gpu will still be needed.
