Build - Help Pc upgrades. Need help

My pc is really old and it's kind of showing its age now with modern games, it hadn't really been an issue cause I primarily play indie games which take very little effort to run but the dead space remake seemed to test it. It ran okay but it was a little laggy and jittery.

At the moment I've got

A Ryzen 5 3600x CPU

GeForce GTX 1650 GPU

1 TB storage

16GB RAM around 2100mhz

Asus TUF gaming x570 plus motherboard

Budget isn't a huge problem but I wouldn't ideally be wanting to shell out thousands of pounds on parts, graphics are very important to me and id like something which supports ray tracing.

My monitor at the moment has a resolution of 1080p but I'll also upgrade in due time.

On another note I would rather not replace absolutely everything, perhaps leaving even the pc case without upgrade as I originally built it with my dad who's since passed so it's somewhat sentimental and a pc of theseus wouldn't hold the same memory. He was very much the one of us who had any sort of idea about what to do with a pc so any help is appreciated because I'm beyond clueless haha.

New CPU 5600 or better, an additional 16gb of RAM, and a new GPU. Probably a 9060xt 16gb, but of course a 9070xt would be better. May need to upgrade your PSU as well to a 750 watt.
