[Parveen]

Hello!

I love Linus Tech Tips videos and inspired me to upgrade my old pc.

Below is my current system configuration:
CPU i3 3220
Mobo H61m-K https://www.asus.com/in/Motherboards/H61MK/
Ram 2 x 4gb Corsair XMS3 ddr3 1600oc
HDD Segate 1tb 3.5" 7200rpm 2010 model
Cheap Power supply

Msi N9400GT 1gb Ddr2 using for design web sites, Photoshop etc and haven't time to play games yet
OS: window 10

And I have 2 times blue screen within few weeks. I want to boost my PC noticeable performance. 

Please help me what to do improved performance.

So hard drives tend to degrade in performance over time, so I would recommend getting a new one or maybe an ssd for a performance boost.

Yeah a ssd can be a huge upgrade, just upgraded a laptop from a hdd to ssd, boot time dropped from 45+ seconds to almost instant, and opening programs and all is sped up too

i don't think your motherboard supports NVMe, i'd just get a regular sata ssd, works just as well and cheaper.

Why GPU?

My recommendation would be either see if you can find a used i5 or i7 to put into your mobo like a 3770(non K) would bee a significant increase in performance and can run on like a 300w psu or getting an ssd would probably be best just to get much faster load timess for everything because I know photoshop can take forever to open if on an old hdd.
