So today i have been planning to upgrade my pc , but someone told me that it would be better if i'd just buy a new one for more money because my motherboard is 4 years old already and therefore may be at risk to stop working in the following years.
What i want to know is , how true is this exactly?Is it likely to happen?
Here are my PC specs:

Motherboard: MSI MS 7816

CPU: I5 4440 @ 3.10GHz

GPU: GeForce GTX 650 2gb 182bit ti Boost

RAM: 8gb

Storage (hard drive): SAMSUNG HD754jj ATA Device (750 gb)

Power Supply: TM-500 PSAP-I3 (500W)

Display: DELL S2340L, 23.1" (51cm x 29cm) (1080p)

Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium
 
Solution
Most will keep working for about 7-11 Years.

However, over time components go bad, most often the capacitors which dry up and therefore no longer hold charge.

So, for now.. You're fine.
