Replacing rotted wood around windows

I live in a 74-year old house which still has its original wood windows and wood storm windows (the kind that hook on to tabs). The windows are in fantastic shape, but the storms are falling apart. In preparation to replace them with new storms, I discovered that the exterior jambs around a couple of my windows, and one sill, have rotted from water pouring over the edge of a clogged gutter and onto them. I had planned to dig out the rotted wood and repair it with an epoxy, but the rotted areas are kind of large. Would it be possible to just tear out the bad wood and replace it, or is there more to it than that? Is it something that I could hire someone to do? Or should I just suck it up, get out the credit card, and pay for some new windows? Any help is greatly appreciated. Despite having a nice-looking house, I have the ugliest, most dilapidated windows in the neighborhood.
