Can you elaborate on this? The Ryzen platform liked a 2x dual channel ram kit config with DDR4-3200MHz/DDR4-3600MHz so that would be one avenue to unlock your platforms potential.

PSU: reddragon 80+ gold 850watt
How old is this unit and what is the model of the unit? As it stands you've mentioned the advertised wattage of the unit alongside the brand and 80+ efficiency rating.

To upgrade to DDR5 you would need new CPU and MB so that would be whole new system.
I appears you have some mixed RAM which is not optimal. It would be much better to switch to 2x16GB 3600MHz kit.
That way you would have very decent system to upgrade GPU. See if you can grab a Nvidia 4070 super or AMD Rx 7800xtx. At present nothing better is needed.

How much are you looking to spend on the upgrade?
