Would you say it is time for new clubs?

New clubs help for sure... beginner sets are typically junk. A quality driver will give you at least 20 more yards than a beginner model... at least thats what I have found.
The best advice (aside from taking lessons), is practice putting. Maybe trade in that beginner putter for an Odyssey or Taylor Made putter. When I tossed my $40 Mizuno putter for a $150 Taylor Made Rossa putter... I dropped about 5 strokes off my game. Remember, you use your putter more than any other club. Get good at it, and you can turn those three putts to two. That was my difference between shooting 100 and shooting 90.
This is what I have in my bag:
1wd -Nicklaus with Fujikura Graphite Shaft (custom) 9.5' loft.
3wd -Spalding "Pro Response" 14' (its crap)
Taylor Made Rescue Dual - 4 (I'm not consistent with it enough, but its nice)
3-PW - Spalding "Pro Response" (also junky, but do the job and due to be upgraded soon)
SW - Titleist DCI (its sweet, worth every penny)
Putter- Taylor Made Rossa Daytona CGB II
