It specs

It has  12 GB DDR4-2133 SDRAM (1 x 4 GB, 1 x 8 GB). and  1 TB 7200 rpm SATA should be enough for your machine. But I would recommend

 

1. Increade RAM to 32GB using the following compatible RAM (will run at 2133MHz

2. Add M.2 NVMe SSD to your machine. Move Windows and apps / programs to it and keep old HDD for users data/files. Crucial P2 or P5, Samsung NVMe 720 EVO .... SSD are suitable candidates for this.

 

3. Keep machine to run cooler using
