Here’s what you have in your PC right now. You’re considering upgrading either the processor or the graphics card, but only have enough budget for one. It might be worth thinking about which part would make the biggest difference for your streaming performance. Upgrading one component at a time can help avoid overheating issues later. Let me know if you want some advice on choosing between them!

Likely a single-channel RAM setup would be better. Adding another 8GB stick (if available) could significantly boost performance for an AMD APU. With the 2400G GPU, you might still face challenges in many games. The motherboard doesn’t support overclocking and isn’t ideal for high-end CPUs. You might try a second RAM module to check if things improve. An SSD would also make a big difference.

The power supply is really bad, I definitely wouldn't use it otherwise.

Are you certain about this? I’m having trouble identifying the specific A320 model, and it’s unclear which one it is. The second most common A320 isn’t ideal for anything beyond the 6-core 3600 configuration.

With just one RAM stick, adding a second will ease lag and stutter issues. Using an SSD is also beneficial.

Many received updates were delayed, mainly because AMD halted support and let it fall to partners for fixes. ASUS made efforts but didn’t cover all models, and MSI hasn’t updated recently. Search results suggest ASUS only supported APU versions, not CPUs, making the A320 a limited option for Ryzen 3 series.
