Hard to give an answer without knowing your needs or your budget.

If you have a limited budget (under $100) I'd look at a used i7-2600 (or 3770/K variants), any of those will be a big improvement over your current CPU for gaming. Next I would look into a 240gb SSD for the OS & a few games with long loading screens.

Just checked ebay, 2600's are going for $80 & 3770's are $100.

as your system is old there are some parts that can be reused and resold. reuse the stock hard drive and sell the old ram and video card. go with amd ryzen cpu/mb/ram. and 1060 gpu. if you have to do it part by part get he gpu first. you can pull it with the drive and move it into the newer build. at some point your going to have to switch mb/cpu and ram. as one part.
