Help on upgrading computer.

Hi guys, i was wondering if you can give me some advice on upgrading my computer.
A few years back, actually it's been almost 8 years, i built me a decent computer that has served me well. I use it for photoshop, corel draw, autocad, some sound and video editing and to play some games now and then, nothing too fancy. Here are the specs:

Cpu: Amd Phenom II x4 965 3.4 Ghz
Motherboard: Gygabite M68MT-S2p
Gpu: Amd Radeon Hd 6670
Ram: 4gb ddr3 667 MHz Kingston
Psu: No idea
Storage: 465 Gb Samsung HD502HJ

Now, i'm realizing it's getting old for the newest software, but i feel that i can, with a few modifications, still get a few more years out of it. I was thinking of course of getting more ram, and buy a bigger gpu, but i'm curious what would be the most i can get from this motherboard. I have a decent budget, let's say, i can get ram and gpu/psu, maybe even a new processor. Thanks for your time!

More RAM, an SSD and a new GPU. Which Rev do you have of your motherboard? Is it the one that supports AM3+ CPUs? Or the older one?

Yes, it supports AM3+. What would be the best Gpu in your opinion?

Good budget options are : GTX 1050ti, Radeon RX 470. If you want to upgrade CPU you could get the FX 4000 or 6000 series.
