My specs Currently:
CPU - Intel i7-4770 3.4GHz
RAM - 16g crucial ( brand name )
GPU - AMD Radeon HD 6570
Mobo- ASUS all series
PSU - Ace 700w

I brought this computer pre built online and regretted it after a while.
Ive got a budget of around £500 I can go over or under I dont really mind

All I want to do is replace or upgrade certain parts so I can play more recent games like ARK, Witcher 3, I dont mind starting a new build since I know this one is fairly shitty but Id prefer to upgrade.
Any helps appreciated

I'd upgrade, you've got a good CPU with a bad GPU so you won't get the most out of games. Get a better GPU such as a nVidia GTX 970 or Radeon R9 390X. I would also upgrade your PSU as it seems that it is a cheaply built one, get a trusted brand. Don't know what parts are best for your budget so I will leave that to someone else

390x is a waste of money tbh. Get a 390, save yourself the money.

If you're at 1080p pick a a 970 or 390.

Lol 390X?? You trippin?

As vDubbzy said save yourself a bit of cash and go with the 970 or 390.

It's all down to preferance either AMD or nVidia.

Changing the powersupply and GPU is what you should do maybe the case and motherboard if you don't like them.
