I would say upgrading your GPU to something like an Rx470 or GTX 1050ti would give you the most improvement. Followed by an upgrade to your CPU, motherboard and ram.

CPU: I5 4590 Motherboard: ASROCK H97 Pro4 Ram: XPG 16gb v2.0 4x4 kit  GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970 PSU: EVGA 550w Supernova G2 Storage: 128 gb Sandisk SSD + 525gb Mx300 SSD Cooling: Be Quiet! Shadow Rock LP Case: Zalman T2 Sound: Logitech Z506 5.1 Mouse: Razer Deathadder Chroma Keyboard: DBPower LED

Uploading videos for youtube, editing and gaming.

How much can you afford to spend on upgrades?

 

With this, you can reuse the RAM. However, I need to know the exact model of your power supply to see if it can handle this GPU.
