Advice for upgrade/new rig

[wlcling]

Hi guys, seeing my hdd is giving signs of crashing, and games not as "smooth" as it used to... need some advise, if i can still upgrade my existing setup, or need to totally buy a new rig

Current Setup:-

Casing - NZXT hades (specs https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NZXT/Hades/)
Mobo - Gigabyte (specs http://www.gigabyte.sg/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3342#sp)
Processor - AMD Phenom II X4 955
Ram - 4mb DDR3 800mhz
GPU - Radeon HD5850

In my next rig, i need these minimum...
GPU - GTX 970 at minimum (futureproof it as per oculus rift min requirements hehe)

i believe its time to upgrade processor, ram size & speed, and gpu, and of course buy a new 1TB SATA HDD since my current one going to fizzle.
my existing setup can still salvage some backbone items? or can throw away?

Reuse casing. Sell the rest to second hand buyer.
