The hard drive and dvd reader could be used, but everything else is obsolete.

It looks like you've been thinking about upgrading for a REALLY long time. :P Start fresh, salvage the HDD, and optical drive if you use it.

I think it may be good, for at best, 2 years. Then you really need an upgrade.
