Give us the specs, then we'll tell you if its worth upgrading

Most of the time, its not, its more worth to completely rebuild it

Alright, I personally would use it for a F&H machine, but REPLACE that PSU FIRST CHANCE YOU GET, It will NOT be good for F&H, You can take some parts out like the ODD, and replace the Hard Drive with something off a less volume, b/c 1TB isn't needed. Buying/starting fresh is your best option for making a rig.
