Graphics Card replacement

[Ylymnstr]

Hi

My son's gaming desktop needs some upgrades, so I need to know what to buy.  I was told by the salesperson that I could add space and speed but not a graphics card.  Someone else told me that anything can be upgraded, so here I am.

This is what I have:

System Type x64-based PC

Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 8.00 GB

System Model HP Desktop M01-F1xxx

System Name DESKTOP-I48NTHI

Processor AMD Ryzen 5 4600G with Radeon Graphics, 3700 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)

I would like to upgrade to a Ryzen 7, at least. We obviously need more RAM and also a new graphics card.

Can it be done? What do I buy?

Thank you for having patience with my ignorance and mercy on my soul.

Yoly
