Old PC needs love

Build Upgrade

This is the first PC ive ever built, back in 2019 and I didn't really know what I was doing. I've attached the PC parts picker list so you know what im working with here but I wanted to see if there were any meaningful upgrades I could make for about $400 to help improve the gaming experience here or at least pave the way for new upgrades to come. Since I didnt get a very powerful power supply I see now how I shot myself in the foot for future upgrades. Im not too sure if its worth trying to upgrade anything like a CPU or GPU since im on older hardware and would need a power supply upgrade but then again im not sure if I want to spend the amount needed to get to the AM5 side of hardware. Any input is appreciated here just not too sure which direction to turn. Upgrade old parts or hold out for a mostly all new build?
