By that point, I'd just buy a new CPU, Mobo, RAM, and case. Then take the PSU, HDD, and all other things and transfer it. If you need, I'll set you up with a system.

My case is only 2 years old and it is in perfect shape. No real need to replace. Do you have any suggestions for CPU, MOBO and Memory in my price range? I have done a little research but reviews on Amazon and Newegg are all over the place for MOBO's and I would like to buy one that is recommended on a message board such as this one.

Ok, if you need a guide, I've got a CPU and MOBO buying guide. I'll post it in the bottom. For the RAM, I'd just go for DDR3-1333MHz RAM, about 8GB worth. Just go for the cheapest, as the best is not always the most expensive.

Both guides are mainly audio, so just listen as you are on Newegg or Amazon.

Ok. Are you looking for a well performing system for gaming, or a beast for rendering.
