what would be the best possible upgrades for the hp 8643 motherboard at the moment

[poline]

I would like to know the best possible upgrades I could do with money not being a factor I already have already put 16gb of ram and a gtx 1060 6gb into it but I would like to know if I could make it any better for gaming without having to buy a whole new pc or mess with any of the software stuff thanks in advance

@poline,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

According to the specs, your HP Pavilion Gaming - TG01-0023w (6YR56AA) is fitted with the Erica motherboard (SSID: 8643) and a Ryzen 5 3500, powered by a 400-watt power supply (please verify!).

In short, your PC is very upgradeable, but it depends on what your budget is.

Meaning, you could upgrade your graphics card with a smaller-sized (dual fan) RTX 4060, powered by a single 8-pin PCIe power cable such as this $280 Amazon purchase option, for example, and more than double your graphics performance.

In addition, I would recommend upgrading your processor to a Ryzen 7 3700X, which you can purchase for under $80, such as via this trusted, top-rated eBay Seller: https://www.ebay.com/itm/127402838965?_skw=Ryzen+7+3700X&epid=21061730108&itmmeta=01K6C8KYK9BWPDXX3M....

Kind Regards,

Thank you very helpful and do you know if there would be anyway to make the cpu a aio water cooler with the space in the pc case it is kinda small but I think I could fit a small dual or single fan to decrease some temperature problem I've had with the cpu
