I don't know if you'll achieve the performance you're looking for.

However, an AMD B450 mainboard, any CPU starting rom Ryzen 2000 (3000 better), 8 more gb of ram and adding an NVMe SSD (500gb at least) might be accessible.

 

Question is: which is your current power supply?

Not English-speaking person, sorry, I'll make mistakes. If you're kind, maybe you'll be able to understand.

If you're really kind, you'll nicely point that out so I will learn more about write in good English.  🙂

You would have to upgrade CPU+Motherboard+RAM, it is possible, depends on what you can find used in your region. DDR4 for example is quite cheap right now so you could get that new if you can't find it.

UPDATE. I just remembered 1 thing. I bought an i5 9400f with a motherboard 6 months ago but when we installed it we put a wrong screw in the motherboard and it died. I then tried the cpu at my brothers lga 1151 motherboard not knowing its a 100 series board and I think the cpu is not compatible with it. Is there any chance the cpu is still alive and I could just buy a 300 series motherboard and memory and I have my upgrade. Ty for all the responds already.
