1. Budget & Location

I live in Canada and looking to spend less then 500$ (CA) on upgrading my current PC. I do have an X-SUPPLY 500W power supply, 1tb storage and a cooler master HAF 912 with two fans, i would like to keep to save money. Pretty much wherever i can save money i would like too, but i still want this system to run well.

1tb storage: https://www.newegg.com/seagate-desktop-hdd-st1000dm003-1tb/p/N82E16822148840

Cooler Master case: http://us.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/case/mid-tower/haf-912.html

2. Aim

The aim of this computer system is to be able to run multiple Microsoft office programs, Human Anatomy Atlas 2019: complete body anatomy, and Warzone.

3. Monitors

I would like to run two monitors if possible, but one is just fine. I will possibly be upgrading my monitors in the future, but they are the least of my worries.

4. Peripherals

I will not need to buy any peripherals or monitors. Nor will i need to buy an OS.

5. Why are you upgrading?

I am upgrading my rig because I'm running components that are over 5-7 years of age. My system has also been crashing lately and with the current pandemic I cannot screw up my online school work/exams due to technical problems. I also want to be able to run Warzone or some other games so that i can just cool off from studying and all.

Thank you for your help in advance!!!

Either save up for more or buy used components. You aren't getting a good gaming PC for $500 out of all new components, even if you're reusing the case and hard drive (that PSU is garbage, don't use it).
