he wants to be able to use graphic design software like premiere and photoshop and plays games like warframe, black desert and league of legends without lagging.

This upgrade for your gaming needs <----click it / touch it

 

This upgrade for faster experience in the PC though it requires a bit of efforts to move to the ssd, just something to keep in mind

It will depend either he still wants or wants to sell those parts

 

Yes I think if he bought the Graphics card upgrade or the ssd
