You'll want to shop for new mobo, cpu and ram as all will be ddr3 currently and likely smart to upgrade the GPU. Tell us what case and PSU you have and the full spec's of the components.

Likely use Seagate, W7 Ult., Optical drive(s) and the GPU but you'll want to change it soon. Case and PSU will be critical items as well so tell us about them, even pictures would be helpful.
Do you see your self overclocking and do you have a preference for AMD or Intel as there are significant cost savings with AMD but Haswell for Intel is out but it's debatable if worthy over discounted Ivybridge chips.
