that particular PC - uses an HP custom motherboard - which according to it's bios information will not support that cpu - they would have to release a bios update to include support for it - which they haven't - and then you would have to update the bios - which while not particularely hard - if you don't know what your doing suddenly becomes a LOT more difficult and is risky either way - so long and short sorry, but no. here is a link to the specs - which has a list of supported cpu's on it - https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05970262 as for the differences - the ryzen 3700x has what looks to be double the cores and double the threads - on a smaller lithography the 2400g is 14 nm - while the 3700x is 7nm - so honestly it would probably handle streaming a fair bit smoother and also allow the game to run a bit better - unfortunately again I must state because your computer uses a custom HP motherboard it will not support the ryzen 3700x unless they release a bios update for it to include support for it - which as of 4/16/2020 they have not - sorry for the bad news but it looks like to upgrade this far your going to have to go in a bit deep and invest in a few different parts - honestly your pobably better off looking up various guides on building a pc first and doing research on the matter - and taking the time to educate yourself more on what goes into a pc - not saying this to be mean by any measure - and consider ordering all the parts yourself and puting together your own custom pc - it'll be a fair bit more involved and complicated but really I personally think it's the best way to go - prebuilts get these sort of roadblocks quiet often - limiting their future upgradeability - not a complaint against you - just an observation about the nature of the pre built pc market in general - hope this helps somewhat and wish you the best luck. for easy to find and fairly trustable names on youtube for pc building guides I would suggest bitwit - linus tech tips - there are more check around - but personally I find the one done by bitwit to be fairly explanitory - they kind of do it from the perspective of having you shadow them as they build one - so it really kind of gives you the indepth look at all that goes into it - and some of the choices to make - and also there are numberous tech tuber channels out there on youtube with a plethora of information of various components and more than one price point guide for what parts your looking at for various price range on custom build pc's - again best of luck and hope this helps.
