    I think the real question is budget, how much money do you have to do upgrades vs how much can you spend on a new build. You can reuse a lot from the old build without much worry. In order of things needing upgrade most direly
    1. GPU
    2. RAM
    3. CPU
    4. if CPU > 1155 then MOBO
     
    You could upgrade GPU pretty well for 250-350. Which would have the single largest bump to gaming, but upgrading RAM to a good 16GB kit and CPU to a compatible i7 would be a big step up also for around the same price. If you were wanting to rebuild from the ground up I'd keep PSU, Case, etc. new CPU/Mobo i5/7000 series or Ryzen 5 1600ish. at least 16GB of RAM and a 1070 GPU unless you were wanting to wait for VEGA, or drop down to a 1060/580 to wait for the next big thing

    You could probably do something like this, keeping the storage, case, PSU, and DVD drive and getting a new CPU, RAM, mobo, and GPU.

    with a gtx 1070 or higher any i5 will bottleneck, while the i7 will not. it'll provide much smoother framerates and less fps drops. if you want to save money get an R5 1600, an unlocked i5 isn't worth it anymore. for gaming only a faster ssd just isn't worth it, keep the budget to other components.
