Need help for hardware

My pc i ls old,
It has 10850k i9 processor, 64 gb ram(likely dd4) and 1070 ti with 1000w psu.
What are my likely budget upgrade options

my use case are for local experiments.

  1. Experimenting with local voice assistant to replace siri. Homelab setup kind.
    2 open claw /.hermes experiments for personal agent for topic research.
  2. Some coding small task to probably run qwen 3.6 30b for light coding some automation.

What should i upgrade? This machine sitting in garage doing nothing right now.
I have microcenter near by too.

Want to keep minimal on price for learning and see if it make sense for mac studio setup in future.

Any help is appreciated.
