There is so much that needs upgrading.
A new motherboard, a new CPU, a new GPU, and PSU would be my highest priority.
CPU and MOBO first, then GPU and PSU second. Ram can be upgraded later, its not the worst, but there is better.

I would go with a cheap FX processor to save budget. A new PSU and GPU.
