Processor	- AMD Ryzen 3 3200G Processor - Quad-core - 3.6 GHz / 4.0 GHz - 6 MB cache
RAM	- 8 GB DDR4 (2400 MHz) - 32 GB maximum installable RAM
Graphics card	- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 - 4 GB GDDR5
Storage	- 1 TB HDD (7200 rpm) - 256 GB SSD

What do you want to do on your newly upgraded machine? What games, what resolution, what monitor?

Also what motherboard is in the system, and what case?

I have the same motherboard as you in my system how much are you willing to spend on upgrades and do you plan to install them yourself

Unless this is a PCS build I'm afraid we can't help. A more general site like Tom's Hardware may be able to offer help.

don't really mind how much I'm spending as I know it will keep me going for a while, only bought the pc I did as I didn't want to spend to much on my first one in case I couldn't get use to the controls and went back to console

You have to contact PCS and register your purchase with them. Then they'll support you.
