Upgrade path for friend's PC

[doodah]

A friend of mine has an ageing PC and trying to give him some options for upgrades. The obvious solution would be a complete platform upgrade but wondered if there is any sense/value to upgrade his RAM, GFX or CPU second hand?

Perhaps a GTX 1070/80, more RAM and CPU upgrade?



Edit:

• 32GB of DDR 3000 - £50-70
• 1070 - £70
• Higher end 1151 CPU - £unknown

Thanks. His monitor is 1200p and only really plays PUBG which runs well enough. I bought him a 1TB SSD for this birthday a couple of years ago.

B650M-HDV/M.2 around £100
7500F import around £100, I paid just £92 for one recently
32gb DDR5 6000MT starts around £70
GPU depending on budget 6700XT/4060 around £250, 7700XT around £300 or a 7800XT around £400

Thanks though that still comes to £500-650 compared to <£200 for a dead end but still decent uplift upgrade on his current platform. I'll give him both options.
