Time to renew system
Thanks everyone for the feedback and support.
I plan to install new RAM first, specifically two 32GB DDR4 modules, to evaluate its impact. I assumed my current power supply was sufficient but will look for a better one. This unit has been with me for several years now.

I installed the 64Gb of RAM and noticed a significant improvement. The FPS in GZW is just over double what it was before. Appreciate the details.
I'm planning to upgrade to a new SSD and am still weighing whether a processor upgrade is necessary. I saw the 1TB boot drive was nearly full, so I moved a lot of data off it. The new SSD should let me clear the C: drive and keep only Windows running.
