I am looking to buy parts for my old pc, it has a 3rd gen i5, 4gb ddr3 ram, 1Tb HDD and integrated graphics.
Don't have money to buy a new one so i am looking to upgrade this.
Anyone selling parts that i can use for my pc please reply here.

A decent laptop would be fine too although doubt anything is available in my budget.
Need a better pc for my college work so saving up and waiting is not an option
 
With your current setup, two major upgrades .i.e., 4gb ram to 8gb or 16gb (if budget permits) and a SSD as boot drive will drastically improve your pc performance. Next you can upgrade your 3rd gen i5 to i7 to get some extra processing power. Graphics card- you have to balance between your need and budget.
If you specify your budget, fellow members can help you better.

13k max is my budget for everything
I am looking at ssd atm, my pc doesn't have m.2 slot so looking for the normal one.

Even a 500gb would be enough for me, just looking around for now hoping to find the best price

Check PM for Sata based SSD.
 
I would focus on getting an SSD to use as the boot drive and upgrading the RAM to 8 GB. Next, I would look at getting a modest, but half-decent PSU since it's the heart of your system. Not sure what your workflow looks like, but other upgrades can wait or be avoided altogether. Also, the cost of these upgrades should be well under 10k (closer to 5k if you go with pre-owned parts).
