Hi people! In our home we've got three systems working atm. Any ideas on how to improve them? I mean in terms of the cheapest possible way :D Thank you for any advice :)

You can overclock the G3258 cpu on the youngest pretty damn easily, even with just stock cooler. And then you can also upgrade the cooler if you wanted to :). Maybe some faster ram. (see below about RAM)

The inbetween could probably improve quite a bit with maybe another 4 gbs of ram, and preferably clocked at something around or more than double what you have now (665Mhz). So you can overclock the ram you have now, buy more, or replace all of it (or mix and choose)

Your PC looks very well constructed, maybe a SSD as the boot device would help but I'm not sure what you have now (goes for all of the computers actually).

Generally the cheapest way to get some extra performance out of computers is just to overclock them. The parts you want to upgrade depend strongly on what you're doing (and even though it's probably for gaming in your case: what gaming your playing). I haven't really looked too deeply in the specifications of each part/computer, but it should give a general overview
