Double your ram or buy an SSD. That would be a good start.
You wont have a mount for the SSD, though. 
A 950 is relatively cheap and would be a huge boost over that 6530.
[Getting a 950 would mean a new PSU and case]

a GPU? like not onboard graphics, its pretty bad over all to be honest but i think the lack of a graphics card is a major bottleneck in over all preformance

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Their prebuilt came with an APU. It is what it is. Use it as a backup and start from scratch.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

You actually have some pretty decent expansion options, you seem to have 4 ram slots. Pick up an extra 4gb of ram. Then get a 120gb ssd, then for the ultimate upgrade, Get a 750 ti MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT REQUIRE EXTERNAL POWER, so get the single fan 750 tis and you got a decent rig.

Dude, it's got a A6-3620. Top clock is 2.5. Let it go.

i mean its still a quad core, sure its not the best and most likley be a bottleneck but in terms of specs its not the worst. Its probably equivalent to a q8400 or something.

Complete waste of money to do anything with it. Quad core or not we're talking stone age IPC.

In all seriousness I think it would be a waste of time and money to upgrade that system. Save up and spend the money on a new system.
