You can upgrade your cpu to a ryzen 7 3700x. Your ram is really slow at that speed. I think something is wrong. A good GPU upgrade is a rx 6600xt or 6700xt or even a rtx 3060 depending on your power supply.

How do i check the power supply because it did not come up in the system about and i even used speccy it did not show me so how do i check through settings i am new to this pc stuff LOL

You will have to open the case and see if its on the side of the power supply

What’s your budget? I feel like a used RTX 3070 would be good for you
I’d also try and upgrade the CPU as well, a Ryzen 5 5600 / 5600T, 5600X / 5600XT, whichever you can find cheapest

My dad is giving me 300 pounds is that to cheap

For used components it looks like RTX 3070 goes for just over £200, so you could get that or an RTX 3060 Ti for cheaper and get a Ryzen 5 5600 or 5600X on eBay. You may need to double check your PSU wattage.
For new components, you could get an AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB for just under £300 and then save towards a CPU later on.

In the usa they go for around 178 pounds for a 3070 so probably a bit more since electronics seem to be over there. It's a great card, it's ok for 1440p but shines at 1080p

Thank you for the help i hope the installation would not be that hard

any modern GPU will fit your motherboard, PCIe is backwards compatible so you’re fine there honestly something like an RX 6600 / 6650 XT or even a used 3060 would be a nice jump from the 1070 without going crazy expensive just keep in mind your 2600 might bottleneck a bit, but you’ll still see a big upgrade and hit 60fps in most games 👍

Thank you should i save or just upgrade the GPU and upgrade the CPU later
