Question looking for some options to upgrade an old rig

[astroxyz]

Hi, Recently i have considered some minor upgrades to my old pc to make it run somewhat better, i would like to hear some options and perhaps limitations on how far i can go with it.
Currently the pc runs an asus p8h61 rev 2.01 motherboard with 2x2gb 1600 rams, a Pentium g620 CPU and a BioStar GeForce gt 730 ddr5 2gb GPU, and a 300W PSU
I know it is quite an old rig but i was able to play games like battlefield 3-4, COD blackops3, AC blackflag and the likes of crisis3 on it tho on low specs, and mostly played grim dawn, titan quest and league of legends with it and it ran those well enough. What would be my options for upgrade? am i only limited to ddr3 1600ram? I would like to put in 1 8gb or 2x8gb rams if possible or keep a 2gb and put in a 8gb, though i have heard that scenario has its restrictions and requires compatibility for the 10gb to work. as for CPU
Core i5-3470 Core i5-2400 are some of the only CPUs i seem to be able to find in the market for an upgrade, i have a new 1TB barracuda HDD in it but am considering a 256 or 512GB SSD if the motherboard can actually support it, these days i mostly use my laptop that has much better specs but i don't want to use it for long periods so i feel the need to raise the specs on the pc a bit.
I would appreciate some suggestions

Check and compare the game's hardware and software requirements to the "old pc's" specs.

Most applications/games provide some listing of required hardware specs in the form of "minimal", "recommended", and "best".

You do not want "minimal" and you do want as much "best" as budget permits.

More RAM is likely to provide the most improvement. As a matched kit for dual channel use.

Changing from a HDD to SSD also can make a difference. 512GB if at all possible.

The key document is the Motherboard's User Guide/Manual. Check the manual for supported components and configurations.

There may be other questions, ideas, and/or suggestions via the Gaming Community and those who play the same games.

Do you have a 64 bit version of windows?
