I also wasn't sure what PC info to post here, so I grabbed what I thought was needed. Any advice at all would be helpful. Thank you very much.

What is the main use of the machine?
Your list didn't mention what video card you have got.

Mainly been using it for gaming, it worked well initially for WoW, Overwatch and League. But I struggle with my recent purchase of Battlefield 1.

AMD Radeon (TM) R7 360 Series, sorry forgot the card.

Well, you'll need a better video card and most likely a better power supply. What kind of budget are you talking about?

Honestly, I am not sure. Between Cyber Monday and Christmas coming up, the chances of me getting something are high. So I guess what I really need are options, cause I really only know the bare minimum.

I would suggest getting a 1050ti, like this one https://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod...37055&cm_re=msi_1050ti-_-14-137-055-_-Product. It has a 75W power draw, and is completely powered from the motherboard.

Seeing as I don't know much, there won't be any compatibility issues what so ever with my current hardware? Also, what is the difference between the card you suggest and this one?

No issues, the one you brought up requires a 6 pin power connector. The one I suggested does not. Besides that, nothing else is really different.

Maybe another 8gb of ram also. if the Motherboard supports it.
