Hi everyone. I am going to start my own business, and would like to upgrade my pc, or build a new one entirely. I found the thread below very helpful, but many of those prices have changed and I don't know if they would play well with the items I already have:

I have listed below that I have a few parts that I upgraded my current PC with in 2008 (power supply, gfx card, dvd drive in 2010). I'm not sure how long gfx cards or power supply last, so if people think I should purchase those new, please let me know. Thank you for your help.
