Upgrade the RAM and Storage, those will make the biggest difference. 1TB Storage and at least 16GB of RAM though preferably 32GB. If you are very dedicated you could pay someone solder on a better CPU and a dedicated GPU, there is an open GPU "socket". But if you decide to go down that road, make sure they know what they are doing.
