Well beyond an upgrade...Anyone else still using a Q6600

Hi peeps...

So prepare yourself for this one....."Hes still using a Q6600 "

I have a rig in the house that my son (8) uses for things like roblox and homework. He's is starting to take a bit more notice of gaming so i want to upgrade the rig for him to progress with but obviously doesn't need to be a powerhouse for the latest FPS titles.

Can you tell this was thrown together with spare parts

Parts going in the bin:
CPU - Intel Q6600 (Finally dragged all the life i can from this amazing cpu)
Mobo
Ram

Parts to keep:
Samsung Evo SSD
1TB Seagate HDD
HX620 PSU
Coolermaster Case

Parts up for debate:
Asus Strix GTX960 2GB


Any suggestions for the upgrades to make?
Budget £400 but don't wish to overbuy on parts considering the limited use of the machine. HEnce the GPU being up for debate.

PSU is fine, got no concerns with it. while an old model was only purchased from Maplins when they went bust

Thanks for those that responded..

Have Decided on
Ryzen 5 2600X
B450 Gigbyte Gaming X
16GB Corsair RAM

Not changing the GPU, just dont see the point for a machine that will play Roblox, Minecraft and a few titles like rocket league
