You don't have to update all the parts at the same time. Sure, if your motherboard/cpu/ram fails you'll likely need to replace all 3, but your current graphics card, PSU, case, etc should still be fine.

Plus, if you're going from a 10 year old rig you could buy used DDR4 era parts on EBay or Facebook to save money and it'd still be an upgrade
