Best option, I would say, is probably looking at a Ryzen 5 or 7 from a recent generation, upgrading to B550 and DDR4 RAM.

 

Your graphics card should be okay for another few years, if you're willing to not crank settings high or play higher than 1080p.

Thank you very much! I will definitely do a ram and CPU upgrade now!
