I mean we're a few weeks from black Friday sales so take that into consideration on building a new PC. Would just keep an eye out on PSUs for now.

Tech wise...
Motherboard, RAM, and CPU would likely all be scrapped. PSU is upgradable just fine and a good first step honestly.

RAM is ending DDR4 life soon now and DDR5 is starting to hit late next year. Even if you buy early 2021, expect it to be DDR4. You said your parts are 10 years old, I'm assuming it's running DDR3 then. That's a notable difference maker.

Same goes for CPU. Intel would definitely need changes, AMD is more questionable. On this front, main upgrade proof thing is that thing that AM4 is good for the upcoming line as long as there's the right chipset in it (X570 or B550).

I'd just do PSU for now. You could technically catch either the end of a generation chips and designs or enter the start of a new one in 2021.
