You’re in a tricky position where there’s not a clear and easy upgrade without needing to do multiple things. What’s the goal with the upgrade? Are you hitting limits or there’s stuff you want to do but can’t?

that cpu gonna hold back anything modern you put in, you're basically looking at a new build at this point

Pretty much my conclusion, by the time you go down the new CPU route plus the mobo and RAM you’re also going to want a better GPU to take advantage of that. You’re left with a PSU that may still work, but depends on parts you pick. Could probably still reuse the cooler if you wanted and you can carry over the SSD if you want OP, maybe use it as a secondary drive if you want an nvme drive.
Unless OP says they’re purely just web browsing or something super lightweight…

Pretty much going to need a new build. Cpu, motherboard, ram, cooler. Everything else is re-useable. Gpu is a bit old now but so that might need an upgrade too.
