Hello people, i have a pc in my mouse whit the following specs: i5 2400, Gtx 550 ti, Gigabyte 67 Chip Mobo, 1 TB HDD WD, old as fuck PSU whit 500W.

I think about is it worth to upgrade the parts or to build a completly new pc?

When i would build a new Pc my Budget would be not above 1000$, the Pc is for streaming, gaming and a bit editing.

You can keep some parts but I suggest new build.

What's your old case?

 

You can keep the HDD and the case if it fits you, then buy new components as those are aging , working on a build now....

Okay then the only thing I suggest keeping is the HDD, sell everything else for some money then you can go with this build
