Glorified home server to gaming PC (pcpartpicker.com)

A few years ago I built a glorified home server PC, I'm considering dropping a decent video card into it and trying to use it hooked up to a TV as a Linux running Steam machine-esque system, but I'm not sure if it's worth it based on the other specs. I know the CPU in particular could use an upgrade, but as is should I bother dropping something like an RTX 5070 in it?

Given current economic realities I'm now thinking of getting an RTX 3060 now and keeping the rest as is, then in a couple years if we defeat SkyNet maybe I can upgrade both.
