have you tried the tasks you;re looking to do on this current machine you have?

350-400 is enough to change the whole platform which is most likely gonna be your next upgrade.

What frame rates are you seeing? What do you want to achieve? A completely new system might be best considering how old your CPU is. Selling your current system for a couple hundred dollars could get you a pretty good gaming pc when added to the $400 budget.

The more I learn, the more I realise I don't actually know anything. 

 

Recommendations: Lian Li 205m (sleek, pretty decent airflow for a non-mesh front panel and cheap), i5-10400f (Ryzen 5 3600 performance, 20% cheaper), Arctic P14 PWM fans, Logitech g305.

im using the best settings for low end pcs (medium quality), my chunks for mc is 15 with optifine, but do you have recommendations for new parts though?

Say you sell your pc for $250 and save up another $50-100, you can build a pretty good machine. For 650-700 dollars, you can get something like:

 

You can make it even cheaper if you get these parts on black friday. Definitely look for the CPU cheaper than that. You could always add more storage later on, but with the games you're playing, you'll have plenty of storage space.
