Remake of my currenct media center - Morrtin - 2014-04-08

Dear Community,
Long time ago I installed my media center with a lot of help from this forum.
Since then my system works perfect. Now has Gotham is around I would like to make a new installation.
I can find my way around but it would be nice to point me into the right direction.

My media center is running on an Intel platform (Intel Core i3-2105, 2x 3.10GHz, HD Graphics 3000, 8 GB RAM) and I have installed Ubuntu Server 13.10 with kernel 3.11.10.6 and firmware 1.126.
XBMC itself is running as a service and I installed it via my own script which I customized from this forum posts

My question are:
1) Would you suggest to upgrade my hardware from sandy bridge to Ivy Bridge?
2) Can I switch from saucy to trusty and is it a good idea?
3) Are these the right posts to start getting into the topic again and be able to update my installation script:

If it is necessary I can provide a detailed hardware list and here is the link to my script if someone like to take
a closer look.

Thanks for your help or suggestions.
