@Debal -- is this your computer: HP Desktop Pro A G3 Specifications | HP® Customer Support

 

On that page, there are listings of the "factory" configuration, plus optional hardware upgrades.

 

You already seem to have a fast AMD Ryzen processor, at least 4GB of RAM, and at least a 500 GB disk-drive.

 

Open the Windows "Task Manager", and switch to the "Performance" tab.

View how busy the quad-core CPU is.

View how much of your DDR4 RAM is being used.

 

I doubt that the CPU is 100% busy, which implies that you don't need to upgrade it.

Possibly, add another 4GB of RAM, if you see that more than 3 GB is being used.

Possibly, replace the "spinning" disk-drive by a much-faster SSD.

 

How much money do you wish to spend?

 

If you do any upgrades, start with the SSD -- it will improve the computer's overall performance, every day.

Adding RAM might improve the performance, on days where you "intensively" use the computer, but not every day.
