No gpu ?

Tough situation. That's not a lot of budget, and both a CPU and GPU upgrade would help greatly. GPU has to come first, and I think we have to look at used kit. Not sure on current used pricing but something like an nvidia 1060 6GB model. That'll then put the limit firmly back in the realms of the CPU. Even upgrading to a Ryzen quad core should help, but I'm not familiar with pricing there. Don't know about that PSU but as long as it has one PCIe power connector that should be ok for a 1060.

Look for a Ryzen with an iGPU, that should give you a nice CPU and GPU upgrade at the same time. A Ryzen 2400g for a good budget option, and a Ryzen 3400g for a little more power and better efficiency. Don't worry about your other components, those should be great to pair with either of those Ryzens.

 

Edit: If you've got budget left over, get a cheap Inland SSD and use that 1tb HDD as secondary storage. At least at the time I bought mine, they included DRAM, always worth it to check before buying though. Avoid DRAM-less.

The 2400g wouldn't be that good for 1080p gaming at 60fps, especially paired with 2666mhz ram. I would rather consider a ryzen 3 3100 and rx560.

I’d honestly be

 buying a console at that price point
