Hi guys.
Came here before four or five years ago with questions. I purchased things that people recommended and i was thoroughly pleased! The Pc has lasted a long time and continues to still be a very good bit of kit!
Little backstory. I'm an enthusiastic gamer who would like to get into streaming, and also i do a fair bit of editing. Because of this, my PC was bought with the future in mind. Here were the specs when i purchased in 2012

The PC has done me well, but it's just getting old and there is a little damage to it from frequent use, and a dog who thought it was funny to knock a bottle of water all over the top of it. Thankfully, the case is mostly solid, but there are a few bits of the PC which are now faulty, and im basically just running by the skin of my teeth.
My wireless adapter (PCI) Is dying. I'm surprised it's still working.
One of the GTX 670's has burned out (Assuming). The study i work in is a little box room, and ventilation is non existent. Essentially, this card sometimes works, but more often not.
The case has had it, cracks, general damage and it's just gotten old. I admit, i haven't taken as much care of it as i should have! The front and rear USB slots are dodgy, often disconnecting if i budge it even slightly.
A lack of ventilation has my cards running at nearly 90-100 in the summer. More fans are a must!
So, my question to you guys is, what kinda thing should i be looking for? I'm looking to pay monthly a max of about 50 pounds via the pay monthly scheme, And while i know what i would want to buy in a brand new pc, i feel like im letting a lot of things go to waste if i do. I'd like to upgrade if possible (i know my CPU isn't bad at all!) but if the general consensus is to just get a brand new one, i'll do that.
Many thanks for any help sent my way ^^
