Speed up which way?

Some apps use the graphics card for calculations and thus upgrading the graphics card would help. What type of card depends upon the apps you use. Adobe likes Nvidia better than AMD.

Also, more memory might help depending jupon the apps you use and how much memory you have now. 8 GB is min and 16 GB better
