Ok so I have a fairly decent pc it can run rust at like 30 frames and minecraft SP at about 150 but I want to be able to run games like dayz at 30-40 fps and I also want to be able to record minecraft videos (When I try record now Bandicam seriously takes a bite out of my fps and reduces the quality of the recording). So anyways here are my specs (I know some of this is pretty out of date and I know the 32bit is pretty shit my old hard drive broke and a mate of my mate hooked me up with this one)

That's a screenshot you will have to click it sorry guys xD Anyways where should I got from here what should I upgrade first? I don't mind that amount of ram although I think 6 would be better but someone also told me that Minecaft and Dayz are CPU intensive games so I was thinking of upgrading that if I could get some advice as to what I should upgrade I would be very happy cheers guys!!

What's your budget for the upgrade?
You're gonna have to upgrade your CPU and motherboard. I'll give you recommendations depending on your budget.
Your GPU and RAM is fine for now, but I'd upgrade the RAM before the GPU.

I don't really have a budget, I just want a general guideline as to what I should upgrade on it, EG Motherboard and CPU I only want enough so I can play DayZ really tbh. And record minecraft. I don't want to pay hundreds for gear I really don't need if you know where I am coming from ^-^

It would really help if you gave us a budget. To be honest, if it was me, I'd be upgrading CPU, mobo, RAM, HDD and GPU. Depending on the case and PSU, I'd upgrade them too. So, it may actually be easier for you to start a new build from scratch if possible. However, if you're going to upgrade over time. CPU, mobo and HDD first. Then RAM, then GPU. I'd upgrade case and PSU before I upgrade RAM if they needed upgrading. That's just how I'd personally go about it. Assuming you have enough, this is what I'd upgrade first;

Then again, we don't know your budget.
