Does your mobo support NVME m.2 drives? Much faster than your SATA SSD.
If not you could get a PCIe adapter.
Other than that things I would upgrade:
GPU -> $650-$700 GTX 1080 (Look at EVGA Bstock deals on Wednesday, free shipping & cheap pricing even for USD)
RAM -> Does your MOBO support DDR4? If not I'd hunt for some used matching sticks to go from 6 to 12 or more.
What are you currently running for cooling? Could look at overclocking your i5.
With 1500 you could probably buy a very good new computer. If you multitask more than you game, probably a good idea to look at upgrading everything and getting a 8 core Ryzen, fast ram, fast storage & a mid range GPU over a 1080.
