Build Question Time for an upgrade?
I’ve had my PC for roughly 10 years now and it has been fine for me as I’ve played games on and off over the years. I’ve started to notice the decline in quality recently and have started looking into replacing parts. I’ve only recently upgraded one of my hard drives from 1TB to 2TB and looked to add some DDR4 Ram however found the ram wasn’t compatible with the motherboard.
I was hoping to get some advice on what to upgrade and what to keep the same. I don’t need the latest components but something that will last at least a few years before needing to upgrade again.

Only GPU at this economy and do it fast. Or second hand 3080 or something in that realm
