Hello, I was thinking of getting a new pc or just upgrading this one but I noticed that my motherboard is old and doesn't allow me to upgrade to new cpu's...So to avoid complications of completely getting a new motherboard/cpu, ect, I was just thinking of getting a new pc altogether or is that a bad choice? Because also my tower is a little small and the parts barely fit too..but anyways

My specs are:
I7 950 @ 3.07 GHZ With the Sabertooth X58 motherboard
16 GB Ram @ 1600 mhz(I believe)
GTX 780 Ti Superclocked With ACX
Power Supply 650 Watts

Should I just upgrade some of the parts or just get a fresh new pc altogether that's much larger with more space? Thanks.

How many years your computer?If you have budgets go on to buy a new unit of computer its better. I think your old PC have a maximum capacity of the HArdware. If you will upgrade this there are many factors that we consider like the durability of your mobo, because if your mobo is old there are tendency that the capacitor is weak and the other parts, might be damage after you upgraded its system. To avoid budget lose and headache prepare for a new PC.
