For 250 pounds, you've only really got one option -- i3 12100(F) and a B660 board, reusing everything else

The power supply I added is much high quality than your current one, but an upgrade is not required.

Thank you both for the help! I'll look at upgrading everything else after I've recovered from this purchase.
