What should my next upgrade for my gaming and everyday pc be?

Specifications:

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Quiet CPU Cooler

I use my PC mostly for watching videos/ browsing the web. Playing video games like battlefield, csgo, skyrim and many others. adobe products/ Photoshop etc. Can you guys recommend me some upgrade ideas/paths, something that's not too costly but neither short lasting. I want this pc to last me awhile. Thanks. Please answer :D

It will be costly.
FX8320 can not really even keep up with the last 2-3 generations of i5 for most new heavy AAA games. Not even overclocked.
GTX770 is also already 2 generations old and does not really fit the job anymore for new heavy AAA games.
In my opinion, it is better to start planing for a big overhaul.

If you wanna do it step by step, not buying everything altogether, try going for a newer GPU first.
GTX1060/RX480 is then your minimum.

Adding an SSD is also nice.

You mentioned a overhaul. What parts would i keep and what should i upgrade. Im only 17 years old so i only get around £60--£70 income each week. I am happy to save up for a long while but i would like to know what exactly for. I am looking to buy an SSD, GPU, CPU and new MOBO, perhaps even a sound card (i am a heavy music listener/ i use sennheiser HD558 headset). I will probably re-post nearer the time due to new products etc/ new games but a rough idea would be nice. thankyou
