Hi all, I self built my PC around 5 years ago and it's starting to show it's age. I'm looking to upgrade certain components if it's worthwhile - I'd rather avoid starting again if I can help it. The primary motivator for the upgrade is the fact that I've started playing CS:GO again after a few...

Way back in 2010 I bought what I thought at the time was a pretty good prebuild. 8yrs is a long time and it now feels like an old dog that probably needs to be put down. Do I chuck it in the bin, start afresh a buy a nice new shiny toy or try and upgrade and fix up the old dog and try and stop...
