Hands down a SSD drive. For the budget in mind, that will be the greatest performance jump you will get. You can get a 512GB SSD for like 130 bucks on NewEgg and then use your old HDD as a video, music, and or junk drive.

Then next would be GPU and or another stick of 8GB RAM.

It really depends on your uses though like anything on computers. If you play FPS games a 144hz monitor would be a great investment too.

1st: GPU (something like a RX480 would be a good upgrade)!
2nd: More RAM (16Gb total) or SSD (depending on what are your priority and what are you doing with your Computer))(if you still have enough money) ;-)
