Well, first things first, that PSU has to go. If it came from a prebuilt, I wouldn't trust using a PC time bomb for any future upgrades.

Other than that, we need a little more information. What monitor are you using and what resolution is it at? Also what case are you using as well so we can talk about a GPU upgrade if your budget allows it after a PSU upgrade.

Also, what games are you also aiming to play the most? I understand you saying "a variety" but games can be either CPU intensive, GPU intensive or use both CPU and GPU intensive, so if you have your heart set on, listing them will help what to focus on.

I was aiming for games such as H1Z1 and maybe GTA 5 other than that I'll just be playing games I can already run, maybe some future survival pc exclusives but as i said I can upgrade in the future, I though I would need a CPU upgrade the most, also I am using a Samsung SyncMaster 2333HD, resolution is 1920 x 1080
