I need to a better set of lenses for my Nikon D5300 camera?

I just have Nikon kit lens of 18-55. I do shoot at narrow apertures to get the better sharpness. But I would like to improve even further.

I was thinking at prime lens 35mm by nikon f1.77

or sigma 18-35mm or 17-70mm How is the sharpness from these?

I do not care about shooting videos much.

Also to increase the zoom range i was thinking about Nikon 55-200mm,

the old 55-200mm VR is £125.00 the new 55-200mm VR II is £250 is this new version really worth of extra money?is there a difference in sharpness?

thanks
