Hi there, I bought a PC from here approx 7-8 years ago and it is getting very slow and needs to be changed. I am not sure whether to upgrade my current system or buy new from scratch. I am leaning towards buying new from scratch as I would like to have a smaller case. I use the PC for mainly gaming and internet access, and budget is up to £3000k. Not really looked at any specs just yet - just wondering which way would be the best way to go generally. This is my current spec:
