I'm planning to upgrade but I'm thinking which should I get. Should I upgrade my ram to 16gb or should I just buy a new ryzen 3 3200g 3.6hz.


Specs:
AMD Athlon 200GE Dual-Core 3.2GHz 5MB oced to 3.6hz
G.SKILL Aegis 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4-2400MHz CL17
Barracuda 1tb hdd
MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GT
Micro-ATX Gigabyte GA-B450M-S2H

CPU definitely, that is holding you back big time.

You may also consider more RAM if you experience high utilization in your workload, for 2020 I wouldn't really use less than 16G unless you just browse or similar.
ryzen 3 3200g 3.6hz.
Why that one? You already have an external GPU. I'd find a deal on a 1600AF or 3600 or something.
