Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4460 CPU @ 3.20GHzWhat are the rest of the specs, do you have an SSD or just a platter drive? Monitor model? "Play Games" is a very general thing, like saying "I like to eat food" when someone asks you what your favorite meal is. if you play Diablo 3, you don't need an upgrade, or LOL or CSGO. Really a 960 will run even new games at 1080 at about medium settings at playable frames. You may be better off getting a nicer monitor/keyboard/mouse or an SSD instead of a faster CPU or video card.

whenever i use Photoshop or 3ds Max to render things the memory usage almost reaches 100%, and playing games like APEX or Battle Field 5 also do that. i thought of upgrading to 16 gb ram as a start then upgrade the GPU later when possible. this would enhance performance maybe ?Sorry, I replied while you were posting so did not see this!
Any GPU upgrade would involve a PSU upgrade as well; the VS series is a very entry-level one that you'll rarely see recommended for any builds with a GPU that uses supplemental power.
The question about the RAM is: are you actually running into problems with 8 GB of RAM right now? Because if you're not, 16 GB of RAM may not help you very much. And unlike a new GPU like an RTX 1060, you won't be able to bring RAM to a newer platform.
