Download Speccy and post a screenshot of your results. That will help us alot.
As for the case, give us the manufacture and look for a model number on it somewhere. Is your PC prebuilt or custom made?

No one can do anything without a budget and currency. We also need to know the make and model of both your case and PSU, otherwise we can't help.

I'd upgrade GPU and add an SSD, then start looking at a monitor and CPU upgrade after that. Need to know your PSU before I can suggest anything as your PSU may need replaced. Take the side panel off of your case, there will be a sticker on your PSU with the make, model, and wattage.
