I'm trying to help my little brother upgrade his PC for his birthday since it's been lagging a bit. He has a pre-built system that our parents bought on Amazon, so I'm not sure what limits we're working with. Here's the current setup: an AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 2400GE processor with Radeon Vega graphics running at 3.20 GHz, accompanied by an AMD Radeon Vega 11 graphics card. The PC has a whopping 954 GB of storage and 16 GB of RAM. I'm completely open to any suggestions for upgrades to improve performance!

Wow, sounds like quite the budget build! If you're looking to boost performance, consider adding a dedicated GPU. Even a cheaper one like a used GTX 2060 Super around $100 can make a huge difference. You might also want to think about upgrading the CPU to something a bit stronger for around the same price. Just make sure to check what PSU (Power Supply Unit) you have inside; if it’s not robust enough, that could limit your options.
Thanks for the advice! I've figured out the motherboard is a GIGABYTE GA-A320M-S2H V2. I'm currently considering getting a Ryzen 5 2600 for the CPU upgrade and possibly the RTX 2060 Super. Not sure about the PSU though!
