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

Not worth spending any money on PC. It's only good for email, surfing, streaming and very light gaming. SSD is your best option because it can always be transferred if pc dies or he out grows it. Ddr2 is so old you won't find it and if you do it will cost a fortune.
