You might be able to get away with just upgrading the graphics card. Depending on your setup, that might also necessitate a larger case.

Depending on the software requirements you might need more RAM and a better CPU. If you need a new CPU, then you’ll need a new motherboard. At that point, you’ve got a whole new machine. 😂

~And you might as well upgrade your storage while you’re at it.~

@dohpaz42@lemmy.world l think you've understood my problem perfectly. I'm thinking of an 8gb ram, Ryzen 3, AMD gcn 4th generation, 512 GB SSD.

If you can afford it - given the recent high-cost of ram - I’d recommend at least 16GB. Otherwise, make sure your motherboard can support more ram for when costs come back down.

Good luck!

@dohpaz42@lemmy.world we'll think about the future later on. For the time being, do you notice that I prefer AMD over other brands for GPU and CPU ?? Considering my choice, which brand would you recommend for the mother board ?? I tend to prefer that which other people generally wouldn't prefer.
