Replace or Renew?

Below are my specs. This was my first and only build 6 years ago. I did it with the help of some of the fine folks on this site. It was a bit harder than it should have been thanks to a wonderful product called Microsoft Vista but I got through it. I have updated the hd, cpu and the gpu since then. I have used it mainly for mmos like age of conan, swtor, lotro. I am thinking about updating the cpu and gpu again. I have seen that many gamers suggest the Intel Core i5-3570K , GTX 760 combo as their reasonably priced go-to setup.Updating to these would cost me about $500. My question is this: Is the rest of my set-up too old for the new cpu and gpu? Would I be better off giving this computer to my kid and building new for around lets say $1200? I would prefer the $500 route for now. Right now I am playing Elder Scrolls Online and I'm getting about 25-35 fps on high. In crowded areas though, it drops into the teens. I would love to run the game on ultra at about 60fps. Can I do it with the setup I have with the new cpu and gpu? I have looked at overclocking but I know my limits-that is probably not a good option for me. Thanks in advance.
