Just my opinion have you consider just purchasing a new computer? With all the upgrade cost and cost for a technician to do the work (unless you can do it yourself) you might be able to find something newer with all the bells and whistles.
No, I've not considered purchasing a new computer. Outside of the fact that the new computer will have less speakers, HDMI or DisplayPort (which means I need new monitors), and a better graphics card for games I don't play, there's no benefit in doing so. Websurfing, e-mail, spreadsheets, social media, document management all are rock solid. I can watch 1080p video from streaming services without a hiccup. If I went all-in, I'm spending $200 and upgrade to a system that performs just as well as any modern computer for these same tasks.
