Upgrading my Gaming PC (self.pcgaming)

Hello everyone.

My 10 year old computer is not compatible with windows 11 and so I was wondering whether to upgrade Mainboard and CPU to something cheap (I guess not many are worse than my 2014 Intel i5).

I don’t see how much specs are important for changing these parts. My Power unit is capable of -800W and I‘ve got enough Y-Cables to connect all my 6 fans 2 ports if necessary. Btw it’s only ever being used for gaming. Do you have any suggestions?
