Usually, I'd recommend a GPU upgrade for better frame and gaming performance. However, I think that in this case, your CPU is probably showing its age. A quad-core CPU from 2013 is quite impressive but I think that upgrading to a Zen3 with updated RAM will give you the best improvement with this budget.Here's the parts that I'd recommend https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=283303a3-1d3b-4287-a6d1-49a4e2f5f780

Assuming you can reuse your current Case, Power Supply, Storage/Drives, etc. here is an alternate Intel gaming build. I think the i7-10700 has a lot of value for gaming at this price point and the RX 580 will fit in nicely for high FPS, 1080p gaming until you're ready to upgrade the graphics card. You'll also get 2 more cores/4 more threads with the i7.
