Time for an upgrade?

HDD  - Toshiba 1TB DRIVE

 

I am wondering if it is worth buying a whole new config for my PC with all new parts except for my GPU, which was recently upgraded from a GTX 760, I only play at 1080p and shooters such as BF, etc. I've been using this pc for over 5 years, and is an Alienware Aurora, I definitely regret not building a PC, but I was young and dumb. I have noticed day to day usage has began to become slower over the last few years eg navigating/loading windows menus and having multiple programs open etc. I also like to run dual monitors and listen to podcasts/you tube while gaming and my performance has been getting worse over time while doing so. While gaming such as with BF V, I encounter frame drops and most up close/high action points the game will stutter/almost freeze and this has been the same with other games, usually running them for a while or after a few plays will improve performance but not nearly good enough to be as smooth as what should be expected of my GPU. 

 

My HDD is basically full with only a small amount of space remaining and whatever I end up doing I feel as though I need to buy a SSD for Windows to migrate to. I feel as though this drive is running poorly and might be dying but I'm not sure how I can be certain. I'm moving to uni soon so I want to realistically get a smaller case which can easily be taken in the car with me, but the proprietary motherboard stops this being easily done. I've looked at buying a new board for this, however, due to being an old chip set, I can only find them for £200+ on ebay used, so I feel my options are limited here.

 

My question is should I get a fresh new build with a new mid tier CPU (Ryzen 5 or i5), which will fix my poor performance, or is it just a matter of getting a part or so to refresh my current build? My main concern is the performance while gaming/multi tasking as I feel as though my GPU is being severely bottle necked in someway which is causing the frame drops/stuttering etc..

Get an SSD, clean/replace the CPU cooler, ,lean the GPU and DDU the drivers. Maybe reinstall the OS

Yeah if you haven't killed the system at all you really should you will see a noticeable benefit just format youre c drive and reinstall windows and it'll make a massive difference. Also an ssd makes such a difference
