Is there anything about the bike that you don’t like? If not then you don’t need to upgrade anything. Just ride it and have fun
The biggest upgrade will be you. Soul crushing interval training and great nutrition without booze for a month and that thing will fly.
New grips, gloves, and a seat that you’re 100% happy with.
There’s nothing mechanical you can noticeably upgrade with your budget, so if you want to spend, get your contact points dialled in.
I could see the tires being the first things that would be worth changing out.
Magic Mary and Hans Dampf are Enduro tires and if you find yourself more on trail or even on asphalt, then these can go. You’ll be faster and spend less energy. And save money in the long run too, as the new tires could possibly last longer.
If you do, take a look at cross country tires. Don’t go overboard and get vastly thinner tires, modern XC tires are available in what used to be Enduro sizes too.
I’d put it in a jar and earmark it for consumables, rather than have needing to buy new tyres be an annoying experience
