Well technically you can upgrade anything in the computer. The real question is what do you want out of the upgrade?

What is your budget? How much money do you have to spend?

Your CPU is fine, 8350 is pretty good, I would just get a better cooler for it as it runs very hot.

If you want the computer to just be all around faster then I suggest adding an SSD for faster boot times and for higher frame rates in games perhaps upgrade the GPU to a GTX1060 or GTX1070.

CPU wise I don't really know much about AMD processors maybe someone else can help you with that.
