Buy a new computer, and get someone to build it for you and spend about ~$1k. In my opinion it's better to get a good computer to last you a few years instead of upgrading every 6 months, but that's just me.

Yeah, his system is not at all worth upgrading.
But if you can do it yourself, I disagree about never upgrading.

I don't think that I have bought a brand new computer or all the parts for one at once in the last 6 years.
Sure, none of the parts are the same as the original, but you get the idea.

The key is to not buy the expensive upgrades.
One just has to have patience enough to wait for the inevitable drop in prices.
