I'm torn between getting a new computer or just upgrading this old one. I want a computer that can handle 1080 ultra settings on modern games (Not really a fan of 4k gaming), be able to stream my games without lagging and probably record at the same time so I can edit them out later. I also need it to be able to make games from Unity or Unreal Engine. Currently this is my computer specs.

Current Build
CPU: Intel Core i3-2100 @ 3.10GHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte H61M-S2V-B3
Memory: 6GB Ram (Don't know what model)
Storage: ST31000524AS ATA
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti
Case: RAIDMAX AEOLUS ATX-818WB Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Power Supply: (Don't know what kind of power supply I have, but I think I'll replace it anyway.)

and here is the build that I want to make.

Future Build
CPU: Intel Core i5-7500 @ 3.40GHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B250M-DS3H (Is there a cheaper one that works for this build?)
Memory: (Need suggestion on a 16GB ram)
Storage: Seagate BarraCuda 1TB HDD
Storage: Toshiba OCZ TL100 120GB SSD
Video Card: Gigabyte GTX 1060 Windforce 6GB
Case: Corsair Carbide Spec 01
Power Supply: EVGA 600 BQ

So should I upgrade or just buy a new one? I am sure that I have to replace both CPU,GPU, and Motherboard but for the casing I am wondering if the old one will work. Do you guys think it will fit right in? Also for my storage do I need to replace my old one or keep it and just buy the SSD? I'll be using air cooling. Any suggestions?

And if I am to upgrade, what should I get first?

since you are going to edit ur gaming videos (video rendering) i7 would be the best choice for you.
i cant find OCZ TL100 on pcpp, but it has the same price.
ur old case would work with ur new build.

Thanks for the reply guys. I'm going to keep the case and buy the rest. For the suggestion on Intel Core i7-7700 3.6GHz its still $100 more than the Intel Core i5-7500 @ 3.40GHz so I'll stick with that and bear with how long the rendering will be. For the memory thank you for suggesting G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 I'll buy that. Thank you again for your replies.
