HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop 690-0028b
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am currently using the hp pavilion desktop 690-0028b which currently has the sunflower motherboard.  I am looking to upgrade for better performance and was wondering what a good upgrade would be without breaking the bank.  Thanks in advance.

@psncmc22 -- is this your computer: HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop 690-0028b Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support

 

It seems to have quite-good specifications (4 cores, fast CPU, fast DDR4 RAM).

 

The only upgrade I would suggest is to replace the 7200 RPM HDD by a 5-times-as-fast SSD (Solid State Device).

 

I see no way to purchase a "gaming" computer without "breaking the bank".  The two terms just do not go together.
