Upgrade the CPU and mobo.

The PSU is quite bad for the price, a CX450M would be better.

Is there anything better at the 500W to 600W range, want upgrade room

Good starter system with lots of headroom. I would consider upgrading to a quad core down the road and then see what GPU prices are when vega comes out. There are some very good deals for LG 1150 4*** series processors on ebay. I would and have gone used in the past to get the best price to performance.

dude I get where you are coming from! you are saving a little at a time and want the best bang for your buck. I have bought and sold and saved to get the next level CPU/ GPU. One thing to remember is new CPU's / GPU's use less power so maybe you can get away with the PSU you have now, also the GPU is normally the bottleneck and can be transferred to a new system. However 4 cores are really needed to push a newer game.

Thanks for the tips, the main thing I'm trying to do is build a cheap Overwatch box that can game now but is very upgradable if I find myself playing a lot of newer games

shop around you only really need an i5 non-k sku, I unfortunately I don't think you can over clock that chip on your current motherboard, otherwise that chip is unlocked and a great overclocked.  Don't sweat it and have fun!

I would save up a little more ($100) and get a RX 470 instead... and a better power supply (+$50):
