You need a new motherboard and DDR4 ram, as well as a bit more ram. If you decide to upgrade the Ryzen will greatly improve the performance of your PC.

Hi

Do you use Intel integrated graphics or a PCI-e slot graphics card?

most Ryzens dont have integrated graphics

If you upgrade your current PC to 8 GB of DDR-3 it will work a lot faster (assuming you have 64 bit Windows)
or 4GB if 32 bit Windows

1. New Motherboard
2. New DDR4 RAM.
3. New PSU if previous one was horrible.
