i'd recommend upgrading either GPU, Monitor, or storage
GPU id recommend either 6600 or 6600XT,(maybe a 6650XT) if you want Nvidia a 3060 or 3060TI arent bad but AMD gpu's are really cheap rn

6650XT https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zGFbt6/xfx-radeon-rx-6650-xt-8-gb-speedster-qick-308-ultra-video-card-rx-665x8ludy

For monitor you said you wanted good viewing angles, panel type i'd recommend is IPS which has best color accuracy, viewing angles, and response times similar to TN panels. you dont specify the resolution so ill give ya some of my recomendations. 1080p is standard and the lowest you should go when it comes to resolution. 1440p is pro-level, the 6600XT 6650XT and 6700XT are the minimum gpu's i would recommend for 1440p. 4k i would not recommend for gaming, refresh rates and response times arent great unless you spend an arm and a leg and even the cheap ones tend to be expensive , if you mainly watch movies etc, this is a good resolution.
60hz refresh rate isnt recommended for gaming, i would recommend at minimum 120 or 144 (144 is standard)
(all IPS)

Storage is important, unless you have more that you have not listed this is what you should upgrade, SSD is fast although a decent hard drive (HDD) can provide decent loading times while being cheap, i would still recommend an SSD (at least 2tb) your mbd has 2 m.2 slots one of which is using your boot drive you can buy one more m.2 ssd before you may need to change out your current, or go for SATA

Gaming (Fast. any ssd will be better than the HDD's)

I hope this was helpful, you can chose which you want, i ordered it from top being best to bottom being worse although everything listed here is good, i would recommend almost all of them. keep in mind what ports you have and how many. also be sure to always plug your monitor into your gpu for best results.

thanks alot i forgot to say i have a 512 sata ssd samsung 850 pro  and about the monitor i have so shit monitor that il propobly be amazed of any cheap sub 170$ monitors with a deacent colour and about the gpu i fell in love with nvidia cause the cp is so good  and i haid an amd card (strix radeon rx 460 4gb oc) but when i haid the cp installed or used some of the settings in it my games ware shit so i dont like amp that much but thanks you so much for the info you provided il probably going to get a monitor and wait for the 4090 to relise and the older gpu to have a bit more lower prices and then il look in to a gpu

Should be, which brand/model is your psu? 80+ rating doesnt matter alot anything 80+ bronze and up should be fine all that matters is the odel as there are some bad models and brands for PSU's (like gigabyte) a 600w psu should be fine for what you need. if you upgrade you gpu or cpu past what i recommended (or what you have) then maybe a 650w or 700w would be better
https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ this is the PSU Cultists list, anything c tier or above will be good, anything below that should be thrown away (for your use case at least)

Good idea, most GPU prices should drop by the time 40 series comes out. The reason  why i recommended AMD is because current units are on par with Nvidia and most of the mid tier units are below MSRP (at least in the US) right now, so you wouldn't need to wait to get a good deal
