upgrade advise

hello. this is my first post. I am recently the new owner of a trek 750, I'm not sure of the year, (I need to remove/move the cable guide thingy under the crankset) but it is white with red lettering. I am a noob, please bear with me... My girlfriend is a larger girl, so I think this section may be appropriate.

I want her to enjoy riding a bicycle, and not have to fight it as we go on rides. Her current bike is a [B]heavy[B] magna mtb with front suspension. My plan is to fix up this 750 and give it to her for christmas.

I am a total noob to bicycle components and what is what... what I would like to know is what is available for this bike ie: good, better, best that will make the ride the most pleasant, and be economical.

The bike is mainly original, it has bontrager tires, suntour components, a huffy seat, grip shifts, and thats about it. Most importantly, is the bike a good choice for a build?

If there is a guide available already, that would be awesome!
