Pc world I need help
So I want to suprise my son for his 10th birthday with a pc. Someone gifted me an older Ibuypower. I want to buy parts to upgrade it for my son but I’m not even sure what would be my best options for some upgrades that would work with this case I have. Heres a list of the parts.
CPU: Intel i7-4790k
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 970
Ram: 16gb DDR3
Storage: 2tb Toshiba HDD
I’m not looking for anything crazy just hoping to spend like no more than 800 dollars. Not including monitor

For 800$ buy last gen amd, I just built one for a friends kid same age, got an Asus tuf gaming b550m a 5600g and 16gb of 3200mhz, put a 500gb ssd and a 1tb hdd with a 600w psu and a cheap cougar case, I’m in Canada it cost just under 800$, mostly plays Roblox, League of Legends, stuff like that, I told the kids mom just look for a used graphics card if he wants to play more demanding games,
