You can upgrade to millions of improved configurations, but you have to tell us what your needs are and what your budget is, if you want us to be able to narrow that down.

I have a budget of $300-500 Cad, not getting all of it at once but that's around my max, my needs are gaming I am able to run most games on my pc at mid and mid-high, but I want to increase that gap to most games at high and above.

In my opinion you should go for a new Ryzen APU. I am going to write below a configuration which will fit in your budget.

Case: CoolerMaster Masterbox Lite 3.1
PSU: Corsair CX450M V2
M/B: Asrock AB350M Pro4
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2400G
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8Gb DDR4 3000Mhz
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5″ SATA ΙΙΙ

*We are using the cpu's built in graphics.
**Prices may be different in your region, in Greece this is cost around 500E.

I am happy for the help, but it falls out of my budget which I will edit.

I am mainly looking for something that is compatible to upgrade to, from what I have now, my pc works good enough but just need this upgrade.

I am going to look into that, but it looks super promising.

Without changing the motherboard, there isn't much in the way of worthwhile upgrades.

No, you need a new motherboard and RAM to use a Ryzen CPU.
