So I’ve had this thing for half a decade at this point. It was the first PC I ever got and I’ve been dealing with it being a PC which was cheap and not made for gaming. I’d like to see if there’s any recommendations I can add or upgrade to make it better rather than buying a entirely new PC

Here’s the specs

Acer Aspire TC-875

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10400 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz

8.00 GB (7.89 GB usable)

Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630 (128 MB)

477 GB SSD

Id like to cram a GPU in there if possible but I suck at hardware related topics so I’m not sure if could, which one I would, etc

So any recommendations would be helpful thank you!

Being fully honest, with that motherboard it will likely be better to attempt a new, fresh build.

Maybe something like this, reusing your RAM, using the stock cooler.

I know you want to upgrade your current parts, but there isn't much that hadn't already been said (motherboard layout, case size, power supply). Bumping up RAM to 16GB or even 32. Maybe looking at SFF GPUs like this.
