I'd pick SSD first. After that question is, what do you do with this PC? If you do heavy work with Excel/databases, video/photo editing etc. I'd add some RAM and start to look for cheap used i7. I guess you are with locked chipset, so no need to pick cooler.

it takes at least 3 years before a midrange card needs to be updated. only upgrade if the game you want to play needs it

get a new psu and oc the shit out of that 390x, it honestly isn't worth the upgrade unless you REALLY need the power. Also if you were to upgrade go with the gtx 1070, just for the sole fact that it is much cheaper.
