What games do you/will you be playing?

Maybe worth a GPU upgrade, the 6300 should do fine for the mean time but you'll want to be upgrading that at some point but requires a new motherboard etc.

Where do you feel your system is slacking? Why do you want to upgrade? Do you need better performance in games, or better rendering times? If you've already got a kb+mouse, I wouldn't recommend upgrading unless you're getting a nice mouse and/or a nice mechanical keyboard.

I play Arma 3 and games of that caliber

Also I want better performance so my games can have decent framerate and not crash my computer

A GPU and PSU upgrade, and a nice SSD to improve boot times and overall speedyness.

GPU upgrade;

or alternatively, a CPU upgrade;

Your PSU is sub par, but it will do fine for now, though I would definitely upgrade it asap. However, you can afford a GTX 970/R9 390 or an upgrade to a nice Skylake i5 without getting a PSU, so I'd suggest either of those first, and then a new PSU.
