That machine is 5 years old minimum....

You can certainly reuse most of it except he case and PSU, but know that anything more than a AMD 360 or GTX750ti is going to give you less for your money.

Just get any mATX or larger case (pcpartpicker is a good place to check compatibility) and a decent power supply. Note that the mounting layout may be non-standard, in which case you'll need to modify the case (not easy at all!). Take a tape measure and notebook and draw yourself a diagram of the board mounts and compare them to standard ATX ones to make sure
