CPU
AMD Athlon II X4 645
Propus 45nm Technology
RAM
8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 401MHz (6-6-6-15)
Motherboard

Im not looking for a 700 Dollar upgrade to make my pc the best it can possibly be. Any advice would be great.

you can start by upgrading your Windows to Windows 10, you can even do this for free legally if you look up how to do it. The OS does matter, but not a whole lot.

Your CPU and GPU are obvious upgrades that you need. You will need a GPU with maybe a minimum of 4GB of VRAM and a more powerful CPU.

Here are Tom's Hardware's hierarchu charts for GPUs and CPUs. Your CPU is not on there, this might mean that the list is incomplete or that you might need a more common CPU.

CPU hierarchy: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-hierarchy,4312.html

You can look through to find a GPU and CPU that suits you. I would recommend GPUs on the same level as GTX 1050 ti or higher, and CPUs from around the same rank. These are often minimum requirements, but they will not upgrade your experience a whole lot, You will not be able to play more demanding games on ultra settings, but you will be able to run them more efficiently.

to be honest, for what you're planning to accomplish i think you need to get an entire new build with a Core I5, I7 or ryzen CPU

To push 100fps plus at 1080p in the latest games you are looking at a whole new build. I'm UK based but I doubt $700 will achieve what you want. You really want at least a GTX 1070 paired with an i7 or higher end Ryzen.
