Hi Guys - I'm a newbie and not very techie so go easy please :).
I've started to think about upgrading to Windows 10 and the implications for my existing set up.
Mainly use the PC for home office but my 14 yr old son also uses it for gaming (although he generally uses his PS4). Current specs are :

GPU GeForce GTX 750 Ti
CPU Intel Core i5 2500K Processor 3.30 GHz
RAM 2 x 4GB DDR3
Motherboard Asus P8Z68-V LE Motherboard
PSU Xigmatek Premium Grade 500W PSU
Case Xigmatek Asgard Black
Harddrive Samsung HD103SJ 1TB
SSD Samsung 850 Evo 500GB SSD
OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64

Over the course of the last few years I've upgraded the graphics card and added an SSD. My question is can I salvage any part of the existing system (eg case / SSD / GPU?) or am I better off just starting from scratch. Budget for starting from scratch would be £600.....

Any help / suggestions gratefully received
 
Thanks for replying, I was concerned that some of my current components are quite old (motherboard, cpu) and that they may not be up to running Windows 10. I'm happy to wait until later in the year.

Thanks again
 
The case is the first link that you attached.
Thanks for the heads up on the restricted air flow - I'll bear it in mind before taking the plunge.

I'll check out the PSU as you suggested - who doesn't love a bargain!

Thanks again
