You don’t need to spend $1000+ on a video card to meet your expectations. A $400 GTX1060 would be a big improvement and be fairly future-proof, although you will be bottlenecked by your CPU, so I’d suggest a system upgrade if you can swing it.
I wouldn’t bother upgrading your RAM alone. It wouldn’t be worth it. Adding an SSD would be a better choice and will make a big difference in loading speed.
If you decide to upgrade you can probably reuse the case, power supply and hard drive. I’m willing to help or you can give pcpartpicker.com a shot.
