You are going to want to start from scratch, what's your budget?

That is more like 8-10 years old.Time to buy a new one.

Thanks for the reply. I have my eye on a new system that I am putting together.
Motherboard: MSI 970A-G45 AMD 9 series
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 960T Black Editon
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 4Gb DDR3
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Optical Drive: LG 24x Internal DVDRW Drive
Power Supply: Cooler Master Elite Series 460 Watts
You think this would be ok? It would only cost around $550 to get the parts mentioned, as the little woman has put me on a budget. I had to show her through you guys that my pc is outdated. ;)
