Build Help / Purchase Advice recommendations on what to with hand me down pc

Ive been playing on this hand me down pc that ive gotten from a relative for about a month now and because its my only pc and I want to play better games on it what should I do with it sinceI have been playing game that can run fairly easy such as minecraft, roblox, valorant. The only problem is that I want to play games like CS2 or Fortnite without being at 90 fps so im confused if somethings wrong with my setup, I need to upgrade it or I should just build an entirely new one.

CPU:Intel i5-8600k

GPU:RX 580 8gb

Motherboard:Gigabyte Z370 HD3P

CPU Cooler: be quiet! Pure Loop 120 Liquid CPU Cooler

Memory: TeamGroup (2 x 16) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory

Power Supply: EVGA 850 W 80+ Bronze Semi-Modular Power supply

Please let me know on what to do that would be very helpful.

that rx 580 is the weak point right now, it was great card but its really showing its age for newer stuff

the cpu still can handle a decent upgrade, maybe look for a used 6700 xt or something similar, that 850w psu gives you plenty of headroom
