Frame upgrade options or not?

Hello
Can anyone offer any suggestions, I’ve got an old Scott Yecora which as it’s at least 10 years old feels heavy and prehistoric. I’ve recently upgraded everything except the frame /forks and am wondering if to change the frame? I’ve pretty much decided to stick with a hard tail, just can’t decide which one. I’ve looked at the Orange SubZero but by the time you stick a decent set of forks on it you aren’t getting change out of £1000, I’m not mega serious about MTB so may be the SubZero is overkill or if it’s worth bothering changing the frame at all :?:

The frame is old, probably past its best and has geometry for 80mm forks. What parts are you wanting to ttransfer? Might be worth just buying a whole new bike! usually works out cheaper.0

I was planning on keeping all the components as they are all new and of a reasonable spec, Mavic wheels, hone cranks and XT mechs. Was just looking to replace the frame ideally and possibly the forks as I guess as my marzocchi MX forks at about 80mm of travel aren't suitable for some of the newer frames, steerer tube could be to short as well0
