What monitor are you pairing it with, as I'd say that is a low-level 1080p build which will not even give a PS5/XBS a run for their money,

The first items you'd have to upgrade would normally be the GPU, but you'd also have to up the PSU to handle it.

You've also chosen a 2 year old, 2 generation old CPU.
