I'd sell your current CPU & MB, keep the RAM and if you can afford this then this is the upgrade I'd suggest.

The 950 is a previous generation budget GPU. I would consider looking at a 1060 if it is in your budget. The G4560 is still a decent budget CPU so I would prioritize the GPU over the CPU. Plus, the GPU has a much bigger impact on gaming performance than the CPU.

Corsiar makes some good PSUs, but the VS is at the bottom of their lineup. You may want to consider getting a better quality PSU.

A SSD wont translate to better gaming, but it will make the entire PC experience much better. Even a budget SSD is light years faster than a 7200 rpm HDD.
