In what game(s) exactly are you having issues with stuttering?
Is the system only used for gaming?

Monitor(s) would probably be my first upgrade since those are definitely the poorest factor of your system and you shouldn't have any issues playing anything at 1080p60Hz anyway.
Then I'd add much more SSD storage, and after that you could maybe consider some sort of CPU upgrade.

I've been having problems with games like Borderlands 3 and Assassin's Creed Odyssey constant stuttering.

This System Is only used for gaming yes.

AFAIR AC Odyssey is pretty CPU intensive, and 4 cores doesn't quite cut it. You could swap your i5-7600k out for something like an i7-7700k, which you should be able to find sub $200 on the used market pretty easily. Alternatively, invest in a nice AM4 motherboard and grab yourself a Ryzen CPU- R5 2600/3600 would be plenty adequate tbh, but an R7 2700(x)/3700x could be a decent option too(though unnecessary), if you don't mind spending more.

I'd still be looking at a monitor upgrade first though tbh.

PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor (£301.97 @ Aria PC)
Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard (£202.38 @ Aria PC)
Storage: Intel 660p Series 1.02 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive (£97.97 @ CCL Computers)
Monitor: LG 32GK650F-B 32.0" 2560x1440 144 Hz Monitor (£344.98 @ Laptops Direct)
Total: £947.30

You could easily spend less money on an upgrade, but since you have the budget this is the higher end/more expensive upgrade you'd be looking at.
Here's an alternative monitor upgrade;
