At first a new gpu gtx 16xxx and maybe a used 4. Gen i7

Upgrading the GPU would be the easiest option, as doing anything else would require a new motherboard and memory. (Unless you wanted to get a 4th gen i7, but a gpu upgrade would have a greater benefit to gaming) If you can afford it, the 1660 super is very good for the price.

Look at the cpu compatible List on your mainboard and serch for the best xeon you can get for a diced price, they can be really cheap

Maybe a

Xeon E3-1276 V3

I would say its overhall time. Your CPU is pretty old, your ram is also fairly old and you have an entry last GPU. If you can wait, there is a whole new line up of GPU's and CPU's in the pipeline (Google Ryzen 4000 and RTX 3000). I would wait until then (would be about mid september) to do any upgrading. If you really cant wait RTX 2000's and Ryzen 3000's are a good option. (For now...)
