I'm wondering if I should upgrade my current computer or just buy a new one. I have a Pavilion 21 HP which seems pretty old, with only 4 GB of RAM and running Windows 8.1. I'm planning to use it for general art and 3D modeling. I'm not very experienced with upgrading or building computers, so if upgrading is suggested, I'd appreciate any guidance on how to do that. Would it be better to stick with this computer and try to upgrade it, or is it time to invest in a new purchase?

Honestly, it might be time to get a new PC since your current one sounds pretty outdated. HP computers can sometimes be tricky to upgrade, and your setup is lacking for 3D modeling and art. A new machine could really improve your experience.
If you're looking for a boost, you might want to keep your current computer and just add some upgrades like more RAM or even some RGB components. Generally, the more you invest in upgrades, the better performance you'll see! Just make sure to check compatibility first.
That’s a good point, but considering it’s an HP, upgrades might be pretty limited.
