Have had my PC for a few years now and wondering if anyone sees an easy path to 'substantially' upgrade? PC details are in my signature. Hoping for better performance with viewing multiple sources of streaming and or videos. Obviously, the graphics card is my first thought, but I'm no tekky, and wouldn't know which GPU could be a good upgrade for this build with the existing CPU, etc..

 

Just curious if upgrading what I have is a better option than selling it and buying a new PC where I could go with new, faster generations of everything.

Under the workload you are concerned with do you see a high cpu usage in task manager? If not your initial instinct is probably correct that your GPU is the bottleneck here. Without a budget or more specifics on what you are doing all I can say is the more you spend on the gpu (to a point) the more performance you will get, this isn't a recommendation to buy a very expensive gpu but a request for more details.
