Ram.
2x4GB@1600.

Remove old....install new.
That will get you the max ram speed and dual channel.

That looks like a new computer.

While I found the 128GB SSD to be slim and cause trouble with having to manage the space, the rest looks like a current PC.

Why not?

The only part listed that looked slim and what I would upgrade is that smallish SSD. For me it would waste my time managing that space.

Tell the forum what you want to use this PC for and then we can address that concern.

What are you using the computer for and how much free disk

space do you have. Depending on the apps used and the data file sizes, 128GBs is quite small and that in itself can cause performance problems.

Is this a BYOPC ...build you own PC ?
