After six years I think ditching the PSU is a fine deal. What is the GPU? I'd only sell it if it's going to still be worth a significant amount, because otherwise it might just be better to find a use for it (or keep it until there is greater need to replace it-- considering the GPU is probably the most easily replaceable part I don't see any downside in waiting on that one)

I'd make a recommendation on CPU's and stuff but I realized that I don't actually keep up with hardware news anymore. Someone else can probably give you a more informed recommendation.

that happened when my old laptop died

So after two weeks of bullstuff, my motherboard gives out and kills itself.

For a minute I read 'motherboard' as 'mother' and got very confused for a second

GPU is a AMD R9 2GB of GDDR5. It's a decent graphics card, runs all my games smoothly. I might keep it, a friend is willing to sell me his old rig for cheap and I can install this GPU into it since his doesn't have one.
