Welcome to our HP Community forum!
You have come to the right place, and I can recommend a number of sensible and effective upgrade steps for your system.
One of my recent upgrade projects was an OMEN by HP Obelisk Desktop 875-1xxx: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Gaming-Desktops/Upgrading-an-OMEN-by-HP-Obelisk-Desktop-875-1xxx/m-p/9..., which is very similar to your PC.
Outstanding RAM upgrade: 2x16GB is all you need.
I would strongly recommend that you upgrade your processor to either an i7-9700K or an i7-9700KF. Reason being, is that these particular "K" processors do not run excessively hot, perform exceptionally well gaming-wise, and last but not least you can purchase one of them for a steal these days via eBay, such as this $120 purchase option via a top-rated Trusted eBay Seller: https://www.ebay.com/itm/146466556023?_skw=i7-9700KF&epid=12037393878&itmmeta=01JQ0P021PNQMP3KQMMVV3....
In case you wonder if an i7-9700K/F is compatible with your rig, rest assured, it is: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/55720734.
With a 500-watt power supply, you can upgrade your graphics card up to a smaller-sized (dual fan) RTX 4060 Ti powered by a single 8-pin PCIe power cable, such as this model: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/asus-dual-rtx-4060-ti-oc.b11144. This card runs pretty cool and has a low 160-watt TDP.
This GPU will run circles around your GTX 1660 Ti: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-4060-Ti-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1660-Ti/4149vs4037.
