[SOLVED] Help upgrading system

[Maximuzzm]

Mobo : Dell optiplex 790 MT
Pcu: Intel i7-2600 @ 3.4 ghz
GPU: Invidia Geforce GTX1050 Ti
PSU: corsair 550W
Ram: 16GB DDR2

I want to upgrade my system but don't know where to start. All I really want to do is be able to run modern pc games on 1080p. It seems to struggle a bit with games like NBA 2k21. I also only have about a $350 budget. I was hoping with black friday and all maybe that would be enough. Let me know what you think.

Can I ask what other games you play? Also do you have an idea of what games you would be interested in playing in the future?
