The most important thing is to improve the performance of Sierra Chart.

Therefore, refer to this help topic:
High CPU Usage | Inactive User Interface | Poor Performance | Long Time to Load Chart Data | Charts Reloading Often

Hardware is going to be secondary. You may want to get a faster CPU and a dedicated solid-state drive for Sierra Chart.

Disable this option as well:
General Settings Window: Destroy Chart Windows when Hidden (Global Settings >> General Settings >> GUI >> Application GUI)

Not sure to what extent video hardware is going to make a difference. When there is OpenGL support in Sierra Chart it will make a substantial difference. But probably not much now if any.
