Processor : AMD A10-7850k
RAM : Corsair 4GB Vengeance DDR3 CL9 x4
GPU : R7370 OC 4GB x2
SSD : Apacer A S330 120GB SSD
HDD : WDC WD10 1TB x2
PSU : Corsair VS650
 
Solution
Well your system seems fairly balanced to me. If you upgrade one part you would want to upgrade the others. I would wait until you can afford a CPU/Mobo/RAM + GPU upgrade.

*Edit: I was thinking of the R7 360. The R7 370 might be okay to use even after upgrading CPU to Ryzen.

Something like this

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 3 1200 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor ($109.00 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: ASRock - AB350M Pro4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($60.98 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($106.99 @ Newegg)
Video Card: Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Windforce OC Video Card ($168.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Total: $445.96

or this

That is mostly a balanced system. You could argue the card is a gaming oriented card, while the APU is not a gaming oriented CPU.

The main problem is your platform has no worthwhile upgrades at CPU now. You'd need a new CPU/motherboard/DDR4 system ram combo, which is costly these days. What are you trying to do? What games are you playing and what kind of improvement are you looking for?
