It's the A8 powered Asus K55N and there's little we can do to boost it's performance. 16GB won't get you much but if you change the HDD to SSD that's a better bump in overall performance.
If this is some desktop (don't see it here) maybe, maybe a CPU change wand getting a GPU would help but that's not possible yet.
Try supplying the Web Speccy and reveal the make, model of the desktop.

I'm trying to gather materials to start getting into Game and Music Development. I'm a 2D digital artist and would like to start getting into 3D modeling and coding, however my computer is far too slow working with game coding programs and music programs (like unreal engine 4 and a few others).
The computer I currently have running is a Windows 8.1 64-bit with 8 gigs of ram and an AMD A8-6500 APU processor with Radeon HD Graphics- all up to date.
The best case scenario is that all I need to do is to upgrade the mother-board or RAM, but I wanted to get some answers from people who know more about this than I do.
