A better GPU and getting up to 8GB of RAM. Everquest is a very old game though, you don't need to upgrade anything for that to run on the highest settings.
 
Everquest Next has not yet released its System requirements, so I cant really help.

Possibly the best upgrade would be a new Gfx card, or as spec suggested heading to 2X4gb of ram.

Your PSU will be able to support the newest cards as long as you dont want to SLI
 
That depends on your budget, I would guess anything from a GTX760 or R9 270X upwards will be able to run Next on atleast High. But that does depend what the system specs are.

If you have the budget go for either a GTX780 or R9 290X, if not then go for something that costs less. Decide on a budget then check in on this Toms Roundup review

That should provide you with the best performance per £ based on your budget.
