Honestly adding an SSD (doesn't have to be anything too fancy), a fresh install of Windows 10 and a RAM upgrade (plenty of cheap used RAM on eBay), would do wonders for your current machine. Pop your existing HDD into a USB enclosure for some extra space and easy transfer of files you need to the new SSD.
Also worth considering ex-corporate machines, you can get some fantastic deals on machines with excellent specs that are a few years old and in very good to excellent condition. These will almost certainly be far better than something you can buy new for similar (or more!) money.
