I'm looking to play games like H1Z1, Arma 3, DayZ, Overwatch, and some Call of Duty games.

My specs are:
NVidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz

4GB of RAM
-------------------------------------------------------------

I was wondering what upgrades would best help my PC perform better. I'm looking to run the games with 60+ FPS on average settings.

I'm also on a $100 Budget. (Yes, I know I won't be able to fully optimize my PC with $100, I just want the most bang for my buck.)

Thanks! :)

Your best bet would be to either purchase an ssd to boost load times or to upgrade to 8gb of RAM (make sure you buy ddr3 and not ddr4). If you have a z*7 motherboard you could overclock your cpu to squeeze some performance out of that; what CPU cooler and motherboard are you running with?

However, I'd suggest saving another 100-200 dollars (if possible) and using that money to upgrade your GPU

Yeah, I was thinking of buying 8GB of DDR3 or saving up for a 750 Ti.
