Upgrading my PC

I've bought a low budget PC for around 450$. It has a core i3 3220 3.3 GHz processor, GT 630 1GB Nvidia GPU, Asus P8H61-MX R2.0 motherboard, LC420H 420W power supply.

 

I want to upgrade it so that it can run more demanding games possibly on high settings 1080p.

 

 

I wonder if someone can suggest what parts can be improved.

 

TY for helping :)

1) Get a better PSU. Corsair CX is OK but a well better choice than the one you have. If you can afford it seasonic S12/M12-II.

2) Get a R9 380 used.

3) Get a core I3 4130.

PC Specs:

 
Core I5 4690K CPU
Gigabyte GTX 960 windforce 4GB GDDR5 GPU
Corsair 100R case
Seasonic 620W S12-II PSU
Kingston SSDNow 120GB SSD
Toshiba 1TB HDD
Asrock H97 Pro4 motherboard
8GB panram DDR3 1600 RAM
Windows 10 home 64 bit
