So i am still running a pc from 2013 and was wondering what component i shoud update next, 

My specks are:

Amd fx-8350

Gtx 770

8 Gigabytes of ddr3

120 gig ssd and 3 terabyte hard drives.

 

so would updating my gpu or cpu make a bigger difference in games, I dont really want to buy new ram but that is still an option.

Eh id save for a new cpu/mobo/ram combo because lots of games today will be bottlenecked by the fx series especially if you use a 5xx series gpu.

 

True, i see you live in Finland @Xusu, Id check Komplett from Sweden, Denmark or Norway. They typically have some good combo deals. (Or Webhallen)
