Build Advice desperately need an upgrade but no clue where to start.

Hey all!
So I have had this PC since around 2014 but never really needed it to be very good until now. I'm not looking to run games or anything but my CPU can't even handle my audio software and my streaming software (for console gaming) says the graphics card is insufficient so it's long overdue an upgrade... the problem being I have no clue what needs replacing to make it half-decent or if it's even worth trying to upgrade over saving for a new one so I could really use some help. I'm pretty sure my PSU is terrible and was told I'd need to replace it before anything else but no idea which alternatives are any good or compatible and will just be wasting money without some advice so I'm really counting on you! The specs are:

CPU - AMD A8-7650K APU (2014 D.Ka)
GPU - AMD Radeon R7 Graphics
SSD - Adata Ultimate SU800 256GB
HDD - Toshiba P300 1TB
RAM - Crucial CT102464BD160 1x8GB
MBD - Gigabyte GA-F2A78M-HD2
PSU - Corsair CX-600
My case has 2 fans built in and there's another in the back but pretty sure they're not even branded...
I have windows 10 installed on the SSD in case that's relevant.
I'm on a budget so if just a few parts are limiting the others and can be replaced, that would be the ideal option.
I can still stream well enough if I only run the necessary software but it gets choppy with my new audio manager active too so even a minor upgrade would help a lot.

Thank you in advance! : )

Your parts need all new parts.
Full replacement.

It honestly doesn't really sound like you even need a full desktop PC. You might be able to find a good deal on a minipc which would be sufficient.

If you want any specific suggestions for builds or minipcs we'd need more specifics with regards to things like how many/which devices you need to connect along with budget.

What is your budget?
cpu/motherboard and ram all need to be changed in concert.
