Low cost old build upgrade

Hi everyone!

I run an old but solid build, here it is:

-MSI z370 gaming plus motherboard

-I5-8600k cpu (overclocked to 5.0 GHz @ 1.300V, LLC Mode 3)

-16Go RAM (2x8Go Corsair Vengeance LPX CMU16GX4M2A2666C16, overclocked a little)

- GPU RTX 2060 SUPER Windforce (can't seem to enable rebar on it, I think it doesn't support it)

-For the PSU I think I have a 850W gold+ Corsair around the same age

The thermals are very good (idle around 30 °C for the CPU and GPU max temps, under load the CPU goes to maximum 75 and GPU to around 83 for a quick heavy load, goes to around 90 under long heavy load, I think repasting it would help with that).

The performance is really solid for the age and price range of the components, but I have some money to spend on it now and would like to upgrade for the least amount of money possible.

I REALLY would like it to be reliable in the long term, and as said previously, the least expensive it can be so keeping the mobo.

What are your thoughts on the current build/ upgrade possibilities?

I can put out 500€ maximum for the upgrade, but would like to keep it the lowest possible.
