Upgrade HP Pavilion p6-2100? (lemmy.world)

I have an old HP Pavilion p6-2100 with an AMD A4 A4-3420 CPU and I am trying to dedicate it to Plex and Stremio. When I use it with Stremio the CPU is pegged and there is a lot of lag between the video and the sound. Would updating it with a new video card resolve this?

I watched a few shows and that seems to have resolved it. THANKS!!
