Is this computer worth building off of?

[Bobodilis]

Hello,

I have an old comp, HP Pavillion Slimline, heres a link to all the specs:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01738809&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en#N96

I upgraded the OS to Win7, but it sucks at gaming so I'm forced to play crappy games;
I wanna know if this is worth upgrading the parts, so i wouldn't have to start from scratch.

If i can just build off of it, what parts would you recommend for me to be able to play some decent downloadable or browser mmorpgs, and I'm on a tight budget so low price/most bang for your buck would be nice.

Thanks in advance!

Honestly, the only thing you can really use there is the HDD. Everything else is pretty much out-dated and weak. You'll be better off building a new computer. What is your budget?

Yeah i guessed as much lol, was a good starter comp for a student though
As for a Budget, Right now is at $0, But i would be willing to spend $1000, at the most $1500 but a grand is what i would be willing to do; and I'am heavy gamer, whether it be downloadable, or even browser, sometimes even store bought, but i really want to be able to play the new Elder Scrolls Game, (♥.♥), and i know that you can find the necessary specs where ever but i found them here:

Overclockable processor and motherboard. The Hyper 212 EVO allows for decent overclocking (~4.4-4.5ghz).
8gb of ram is plenty for games.
Excluded a HDD because you can reuse the one in your computer.
GTX 770 can max out anything at 1080p.
The XFX 550w is plenty even if you overclock the gpu and cpu.
Included Windows 8.1 because you'll need a new OS.
