What kind of power supply do you have? That's going to decide what your videocard options are. You will want a better videocard than what you have to start with.

you'll need more RAM.
and a new GPU.
and the CPU is a bit on the weak side too.
depending on your PSU, that might need to be upgraded too

and what should i upgrade first? you are just telling me to upgrade everything

because if you slap a new GPU in there, your CPU will still bottleneck as hell.
if you expand your RAM, your GPU/CPU will bottleneck
if you upgrade your CPU (maybe alongside your RAM and board), your GPU will bottleneck beyond reason.

with a system like that, upgrading one by one is like buying a kitchen for your house while not having a bathroom or bed. depending on how fast you can get your money to upgrade, it might be wiser to first get the money for all the upgrades and upgrade at once.
if that would take way too long, get a new GPU and extra RAM.
