I may not be able to perform all the upgrades at the same time and spread out the cost so this will help me estimate it.

Playing my own devils advocate - is it worth upgrading my starter bike? regardless looking to gain some perspective from this group.

Thanks!
You said it yourself. It's a starter bike. The only worthwhile upgrade is to another bike. You could replace everything on the bike with "better" equipment at a significant cost or you could just replace the whole bike at less cost. The latter course makes more sense.
