Will upgrading my GPU and Ram help my CPU run games more efficiently?

Then its the wattage that matters right?

Correct. That and component quality to ensure SAFE power delivery. This is why i always recommend never to venture near full power output on any PSU of any quality as we are talking about a LOT of amperage in a catastrophic component failure. It's one thing if a cap goes bad when it's not doing much, but it's quite another when it goes bad at full load. The difference can be from a small pop to a fragmenting explosion.

Your most likely won't need to upgrade your PSU, the Ryzen 3 will eat less processing power, just do a quick google search to compare your GPUs.

The ryzen series CPU are very power efficient, I would be surprised if you needed to upgrade. You can plug all your parts into pcpartpicker,and it will tell you the total wattage needed. The number it gives you is a on the high end of things, so if as long as your total wattage needed comes in under your psu' rated maximum wattage, you're okay .
