Your setup looks like it's showing its age. How much you could/should salvage depends entirely on how much of an upgrade you want and what your budget is. You can of course keep using your peripherals as long as they aren't giving you any trouble.
If you are looking for some inexpensive upgrades, I would look at getting an m.2 SSD and at least 8gb additional ram. You could also do some things like uninstall unused software, clean out any crapware or any unneeded processes, defrag your hard drive, or even reinstall your OS.
No idea where you live or what performance targets you would be looking for, but you can get a decent prebuilt for around $800 USD.
Honestly, I'd suggest getting 32gb of RAM with a decent speed and just tossing the rest of that mishmash.
