Hello internet!
Ok so, I built my computer years ago, first time ever (it was awesome). I am currently not too happy with its performance and was thinking about upgrading or starting over with a new build. I was curious and wanted to know from you all your opinions. If I should upgrade what would you recommend I upgrade and what product do you think would give me best performance increase for the money. If I should start fresh with a new build what would you recommend going that route?

I would one day like to have a PC for gaming, school, and one more for everything else ( I have a small problem with organization if you couldn't tell.) This life goal of mine gives me the chance to build three computers all built around their own need. gaming rig would need to be able to play all AAA titles at 1080p or higher on dual monitors. I'm in school for programming and would like the school pc to be able to handle anything I may need for that as I have just barely scraped the surface in that field. The everything else pc would be a bare bones PC focusing on nothing but speed for work, music, videos, emails, storage, and so on. Please give me your feedback let me know what you would do. am I asking too much? is there a way to put all into one PC and still keep the organization I'd like? any input would be more than appreciated.

Current pc build/setup I'd like to upgrade or part out into three computers:

Case = Corsair 750D full tower
Motherboard = Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0
CPU = AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz
GPU = Evga GeForce GTX 780 Classified 3gb
RAM = Hyperx Fury blue 2x8gb
PSU = Corsair CM750M
SSD = Kingston 240gb
HDD = WD 1TB blue

I would recommend that you build a new system, You will find that if you do keep the 780 for a while in your new build, you will see that the FX8350 was holding it back in some games or even some areas in some games.

Its not worth upgrading that system as the FX8350 would have a hard time keeping up with anything faster than a GTX1060.
