It is 3020MT.  If you already have i5, no need to upgrade to i7.  Spend majority of upgrade budget on best gpu w supporting psu.  Spend the rest on 2x8 gb ddr3 + ssd which is about $50.  Psu can be 500-600w standard ATX + 24 to 6 pin adapter about $50.  So spend the rest $200 on gpu.  Probably a gtx 1080.

if you have i3 then upgrade to i5 or i7.

Rather than throw $350 into a machine from 2013-2014, how about?...
