For that price you may get used 1080 Ti. But as it is quite old its also risky as it may fail any day.

I would advise upgrading the CPU first. That will give you a nice boost, especially in newer games. The 3200G has only 4 cores and no simultaneous multithreading (SMT) so there are only 4 threads, and it's a Zen+ part. Going with something newer, with more threads, like the Ryzen 5 3600 (Zen 2) would eliminate the micro stutters and huge frame drops you experience in games.
Watch the attached video to see what the GTX 970 can do in 2021 and decide on upgrading WHEN you upgrade your CPU.

Upgrading the GPU without upgrading the CPU first would result in terrible performance in your case since the 3200G is a noticeable bottleneck even for the 970.

I think you are going to struggle.
Old is overpriced, that that is too low for even a budget new generation GPU.
I got myself a 1650 super, but that isn't much of an upgrade over your 970 if that was your plan.
