Just cracked open my PC I've had since 2014, it's a Dell Optiplex 330 desktop and I'm really trying to upgrade it to a pretty decent gaming PC. What all can I do (besides just buy a new PC) to get the best quality gaming? My budget would be around $500.

For any type of reference I'm looking at games like Apex Legends, Overwatch, Minecraft, Sims 4 (heavily modded)

This is a BTX system - you can't replace the motherboard. I don't know whether the games you mention would work on Socket 775 system... ANd you can't expand RAM either, with DDR2 sticks...
This is just to old for gaming in 2020. If you want a cheap pc for gaming get a LGA1150 socket SFF and chuck in a low profile GT1030 or GTX1050ti and get 16GB DDR3
