Hello , We have an old Advent DT2110 ( spec below ) Its not used for gaming at all just MS office, graphics app called Picmonkey and streaming youtube. I dont think it needs anything fancy but i like the idea of the "RYZEN 3 3200G QUAD CORE 4.0GHZ (SOCKET AM4) APU WITH RX VEGA 8 GRAPHICS" if there is an equivalent Intel so I could keep the mobo.
The current performance is great for what I need but I am having trouble running the "Picmonkey" app, the developers for this app say its problem with video drivers or directx since the last Chrome update but also does not work on edge or firefox. The drivers are the latest available from 2016 so was looking for a quick fix


=======================================
Advent DT2110
Intel Core i5-2320 @ 3.00GHz (4 cores)
Foxconn H61MX motherboard with on-board Intel HD graphics
Intel HD Graphics 1000 (GT1)
400W PSU (CIT ATX 12V Model:400HE)
8GB DDR3 PC3-12800 ram (using two slots)
1TB mechanical hard drive
Windows 10 upgraded from windows 7
=======================================

P.S, Thanks for all the interesting posts which are keeping me busy whilst self isolating
 
OK guys, thanks for the feedback, As I will not be playing games on this machine I will try the SSD and CPU but could I add a video card to try and get around the app issues with video drivers.
I have not kept up with building PCs for many years, last I built was a super "Pentium E2200 2.2GHz Dual-Core CPU" when ****** first started online, I am surprised at the bargains listed on this site so I will probably also replace the other PC in the house and build one from scratch

thanks for the help.
