[SOLVED] How do I upgrade my non-future proof PC?

[NaginRash]

My PC was built by a very short-sighted 12 year old me who, in spite of all reason, went for a CPU in a LGA1150 socket and, by extension, DDR3.
Needless to say, it is now quite outdated and having a little hard time running newer games, while recording/streaming makes games unplayable.

How do I upgrade the following build in the most effective manner without breaking the budget? (Or is it such a lost cause that I should simply buy a new computer, this time with future proofing in mind?)
Keep in mind I don't need to be running the craziest games at 240 fps on ultra, I'm perfectly fine with consistently good frames on low/medium in games like the new COD, and extremely good frames in games like CS:GO or Valorant (I play 4:3 stretched which helps with the fps anyway). Ideally I would be able to stream all of this to my friends.

CPU: intel i5 4590 @ 3.30 GHz
GPU: msi gtx 960 2gb
RAM: corsair 8gb DDR3
MB: asrock h81m (iirc)
PSU: EVGA 500w 80+

Where are you located and what is your budget?

16 gigs of memory, 1660 super card, ssd if you don't have one.

For games you should prioritize gpu to upgrade, after that add an ssd as your main disk, if your ram is still a single 8gig you could add another 8gig ram.
