Build Upgrade Need help upgrading my pc

I bought my pc back in 2022-23. Back then it ran great imo but I was new to PCs. I could play cod, fivem, and more games without crashing but I was never able to run at 240fps or even 100fps unless I was on a menu screen. Actual gameplay would be anywhere from 20-40fps. Forza Horizon 6 came out and i can’t play it without the game stuttering or straight up freezing for a few seconds. I tried to play fivem recently and the graphics were horrible and it barely got over 10fps. My drivers are up to date. What do I need to upgrade?

Here’s the specs:

27” Sceptre 240hz monitor with a 1ms mprt
Intel 12th Generation Core i5 12600KF
SSD-500GB
RAM- 64GB
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050
And a 2TB external hard drive that I have most of my games on except Forza and gta.

Up to $700 but definitely don’t want to spend that much if I don’t have to
