Hi, I have a
HP Pavilion Desktop - TP01-0145m and I’d like it to be somewhat of a decent gaming computer what should I upgrade on it for it to be decent and or a good gaming computer? And any part recommendations that are compatible with my case? Do I need to completely swap most things out and replace them with others?

Those units all use an HP proprietary PSU. Not an ATX 24 pin setup. The only change is the graphic card, and a more powerful power supply. You would need to state an example of game play, or go here for an analysis.

Decent is relative. I wouldn't venture beyond this one.
That's about max for the PSU.

I still refer to my question. Name a game and upgrade to exceed that potential. That is based on your computer having a AMD Ryzen 3 3200G entry level CPU chip. It is 3-7% below an I3-8100 chip.
