I have Had this pre built for a while..yeah i know..i bought this back in my non Master race days...But anyways my current Specs are i3-4150 r7 370 antec vp-450w 8GB DDR3. As you can tell i already upgraded the GPU and PSU on this "Dell" (yikes a dell pre-built even worse..i know XD) Now i usually Like to game. Mostly triple A games and steam f2p games. Also I like to use unreal engine but it runs kinda meh on my i3 so i was thinking about changing my Mobo, CPU, RAM, Case and Maybe PSU..But im not sure..it sorta sounds pointless when i could just basically start a new build Because thats literally almost a whole PC.So what do you guys think I should do?

The only things I would re-use from that system would be the fans (if they are 120mm), the ram (however, I recommend skylake at this point, so you would have to buy DDR4), maybe the storage (if its large and fast enough), and possibly the sata cables or optical drive.

Essentially, you would save about 20-30 bucks when you build a new system. Just keep this as a backup PC, use it for troubleshooting etc.
