NEVER. I repeat NEVER. Even if Gaben Descended upon you and granted an unlimited steam wallet...NEVER buy an unbranded power supply. I would honestly just unplug the computer right now until you get a replacement. That thing is a time bomb.

Hey man!

 

CPU performance should be fine as it is, you can overclock it since your hardware is compatible.

 

you should get a new ssd and install windows, apps, and games on it, generally you will feel the pc much smoother.

 

you are probably aware of the gpu shortage so I can't advise buying a new one. If you do choose to do so, make sure to get a new quality psu since your stock one is probably not that good.

better psu and gpu

 

also the ram should be higher speed than 2133mhz cannot find patriot viuper moduiles so slow speed anywhere. enable XMP in bios

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.
