    If you use x2  (or overbuy a little, using x4 type) M.2 NVMe SSD, it will be even faster than 2.5" SATA3 SSD by another 2-3 times.

    Are there any special needs that you must do the upgrades? Are you going to use the PC to play the modern games? Your PC now, if paired with x2 M.2 NVMe SSD should be basically O.K. for day to day operations other than gaming and heavy video editing.

    Generally speaking, I'll advise people not to do motherboard and CPU upgrades, as the cost invovle is close to buying an entry level modern PC. For example, people can buy 11th gen or 10th gen entry level PCs now around USD $450-$580 with the performance way faster than your current PC and using the current technologies.

    You have not mentioned what kind of drive that you use for storage. If you are still using traditional mechanical drive, then it is a good idea to replace it with a 2.5" SATA3 SSD, as it is three times faster than traditional HDD.
    This will definitely improve the peformance of your PC significantly.
