As a new member, I would recommend you take a look of our guidelines:
 

You might as well ask which brands has the most cred on the forums these days. 

If you're building later, appears waiting for Zen 3 in a few months is your best option, given Comet Lake appears to be another 14nm refresh.
See here:
 

it all depends on your use case.  Most people these days will just say go amd but again it all goes based on what your use case will be

Way too loaded of a question.  Depends on many factors.
 
When you are within a few weeks of building, come back and ask again.  Things may change.

Ram will help, but not as much as a gpu upgrade, as mentioned. Focus on that, 8GB of ram will be sufficient enough for what you want

Ram is low, HDD is slow so that when trying to access textures etc that show up during online play that aren't cached in the ram (also tied to network latency) it has to find, open up space on the ram, and replace that texture with the new texture.  Coupled with 2gb of VRAM you are choking the system for a game like that.
 
If it were me I would first focus on another 8gb of RAM, and getting an SSD for my games (and OS, personally).  Then see just how bad your GPU is bottlenecked before replacing.

You'll almost certainly need a GPU with more VRAM... and more RAM in general.
