i want to upgrade/buy a new one if necessary, trying to keep anything from the old one if i can, this is what i have now (monitor/keyboard/mousse not worth to list there), my budget its 500€

INTEL CORE 2 DUO E8400 (3.0GHZ) SKT 775
ASUS P5E
LC-POWER 600W SUPER SILENT V2.2 (LC6600)
SAPPHIRE HD3850 ULTIMATE 512MB DDR3 PCI-E
GSKILL KIT 2GB DDR2 1066MHZ PK (CL5)
MAXTOR STM3160215AS ATA Device
Thermaltake Matrix VX
 
Which country are you from?
Assuming you're from Germany, here's a good PC for €565 (without OS)
  • NZXT Source 210: €47
  • Seasonic M12II-520: €56
  • AMD FX-6300: €86
  • Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P: €71
  • AMD R9 270X: €158
  • Kingston HyperX 8GB-1600MHz: €55
  • Seagate SSHD 1TB: €65
  • Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo: €27
 
I'd say its smarter to not re-use an old case like that.
If he does, he has hardware lying around instead of an actual machine. It's only ~€47 for a much better case.
 
As stated the only real reusable part would be the case. I'd chuck the PSU personally.

What are your uses/requirements, anyway?

Looks like Portugal is a bit more expensive than Germany.
  • AMD Athlon 760K: €75
  • MSI A88X-G43/Gigabyte F2A88X-D3H: €67
  • Kingston HyperX/Corsair Vengeance 8GB-1600MHz: €68
  • Corsair 200R/Coolermaster HAF912: €61-71
  • Seasonic S12II 520W: €70
  • ASUS/Gigabyte/MSI GTX 750 Ti 2GB: €130
  • Seagate SSHD 1TB: €68
Total: €549

The power supply. Don't get that one. Only get one from Coolermaster, Seasonic, SilverPower, Corsair, XFX and BitFenix. Maybe a few others I can't remember - but not that one.
And what about storage?
 
As stated, avoid that PSU like the plague.

You might also consider getting an H97 mainboard instead. You'll likely get non-POST behavior from an outdated BIOS using a Haswell-refresh CPU on a yesteryear chipset.

You'll probably have to compromise a bit to fit all of those within your budget.

RAM - Your mobo support up to DDR3 1600. No point getting DDR3 1866 unless it is cheaper.
