What’s your budget?

#

If you have, idk, $800 to spend you could easily get a new CPU, mobo, RAM, and a solid GPU with mixed second hand and new parts

4th gen is OVER 10 years old.
It's dead.

Buy a cheap used GPU if you're dead set on running 4th gen. RX580 8gb should be ~50 bucks

Yeah, you’re so CPU bound that past a certain point you get zero return

#

also: it's not a k chip. it won't overclock typically.

#

so:
Upgrading an 11 year old PC? Typically just burning money.
Replace the box. Full stop.
