I built a PC for myself a few years back. Here are the specs:
AMD Phenom II 1090T Black Edition Six Core Processor - 3.20GHz, 6MB Cache, 2000MHz (4000 MT/s) FSB
Corsair 8GB DDR3 PC10666 1333MHz Kit 2x4GB
Seagate 1TB Internal Hard Drive - SATA III, 7200 RPM, 32MB Cache (ST31000524AS SY)
MSI 760GM-P35 AM3 AMD 760G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
No discreet graphics card, no optical drive, and a cheap PSU that will need to be upgraded before getting a graphics card. The current PSU gets hot and loud, while not doing anything!
Anyways, I would like to do a little gaming, not a lot. If I could play most games on mid settings with no lag, that would be great. I mainly just want a fast computer for day-to-day things. I want quick as possible boot times on any OS I decide to put on it, so I'll want at least some SSD storage.
I'm a programmer, and I do some android/linux development for fun. I'd like a computer that compiles/builds really quickly.
So the question is, would I be better off upgrading this PC, or building a new one?
----EDIT----
If you think I should build a new system, share a build you think would be good for me for around $600. If you think I should spend more than that, you may list a build $100-200 more, but please explain why I'm better off that way. Thank you!
