I'm looking to upgrade my older PC but I'm unsure where to start. I have a 400W PSU, an NVIDIA Quadro P1000 GPU, an Intel Core i7 7700 CPU clocked at 3.60GHz, an HP 802F motherboard, and 32GB of DDR4 RAM (2 sticks of 16GB each) in my Z240 Tower Workstation. What upgrades should I consider next?

Honestly, if you can manage it, investing in a completely new PC might be worth considering. It could save you time and hassle in the long run!
You might want to focus on your GPU first. Mainstream brands like HP often have restrictions due to proprietary parts, but if your CPU is still solid, you're in a good position. You have 32GB of RAM, which is great! Look for a GPU that fits in your case and doesn’t exceed 200W. Just remember that your PSU might be proprietary, so check compatibility.
Would an NVIDIA 3060 TI be a good option based on what you said?
I totally get that, but my budget doesn't allow for a new PC right now. I need to work with what I've got.
