Graphics card, then CPU + Motherboard. You can get a RX 480 4GB / GB for $40 more, or a GTX 1060.

$200 on the 480, $250 on the 1060. If you're on a tighter budget than that, try the RX 470 or 460.

Yep, go for a GPU first, but we'll need to know your budget and any upgrade plans as well. If you're going to do a big CPU/MB/RAM upgrade fairly soon, then get the strongest GPU you can now, so you can transfer it over later, if you're sticking with the current i5 for a while the RX480 is a bit slower than the GTX1060, but cheaper. Either will be good on a 60Hz 1080 monitor.

Additional suggestions:
Me, I'd get shot of that cheap PSU, this part is the bedrock of the system and usually overlooked. Cheap parts have, and will continue to kill systems when they fail.
Bring the memory up to 8Gb, it's a dead cheap upgrade and AFAIK modded games like to have plenty of breathing room.
