I am currently using a ASUS Essentio CM5675 and was wondering if upgrading the Gpu and power supply would be worth it or just build new. I mainly play WOW and run AutoCad. I've been looking into upgrading the GPU and just want to know if would be a waste of money. ANy help would be greatly appreciated

Well, what kind of money do you have to put towards your computer? I mean $600-700 will get you a pretty nice gaming rig. Your CPU is still decent. But it is definitely getting old. An FX-6300 would be a nice performance increase for you. I personally would probably build a new rig.

I'd be looking to replace the rig itself, but as often happens, and enough money not available I'd start by laying out what you want in a rig, then maybe start by picking up the GPU and PSU to start and use with what you have, then work your way to mobo and CPU, can prob use things like your current DRAM, CD/DVD player, drives etc in the new once you get the mobo/CPU and then replace them as time goes on
