I am on a tight budget but maybe it's time to buy a new PC. 

Please give me your advice
Should I:
1) Change the motherboard (same one)
2) Change the CPU
3) Change motherboard and CPU (same ones)
4) Keep whatever parts are salvageable ( Ram, PSU, maybe GPU) and build a new PC
5) Get a new whole new PC for a good price ( suggestions?)
This is my PC:
Zalman tower gs1200
Nvidia GeForce gtx 670 (aug 2005)
PSU corsair tx850m
Corsair Vengence pro ddr3 1600mhz 8gb x2, 4gb X2 ( 24 gb total)
motherboard Asus p8z77-v pro (2012)
intel i7 3770k @ 3.5 GHz overclocked
Dual 32" monitors
Samsung evo ssd
Windows 7 pro


So the last few days I'm having trouble with my PC. It was staying stuck in sleep mode. After a reset, it would go as far as the Windows Logo and then go to a black screen. I couldn't even access BIOS.

After resetting the bios by pulling the CMOS battery I managed to get it to boot up normally and it worked fine for the day but my video card was no longer detected.
From my few online searches I guess the motherboard or CPU is faulty. But maybe it's something else I don't know.
My PC is from 2012 but I really like it and can't really afford to replace it unless I can get a decent deal on a similar one ( and hopefully lighter because I may move to another country with it) .

I've never built a PC before but I was thinking I can either buy the same motherboard (RM 465) and see if it solves my problem. Or should I buy both the board (RM 465) and CPU (RM 628) ? Or just buy a different board and CPU (recommendations?) [ Also note: The onboard sound card and a few USB outlets stopped working a few years ago. And the power button often sticks.

if you can throw 465+628 at 9 years old tech, might as well use those to buy i3 10105f + decent mobo + 8gb ddr4 ram. you have latest tech, better performance. just my RM0.20

I dont think that new i3 with 8gb will run anything like my 9 yr old i7 and 32 gb.

Of course won't be the same, the i3 is just so much faster and better, and lower tdp, and support up to 128GB ram.
