I need help deciding whether i should build a new computer or upgrade my current one. My current computer is this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VscGNN. Mind you i only use this computer for strictly gaming and some schoolwork. So is it worth just upgrading the Graphics Card and throwing some ram in? Or just building a new one?

Upgrade your current one:

Upgrade ram, then gpu (ram will help with multi tasking, possibly More gaming fps, More chrome tabs)

 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

just buy a new gpu...u can go as far as gtx1070..a 1080 maybe bottlenecked by the cpu but most likely will be fine. u dont really need to upgrade ram..8gb is fine for games. upgrade the cpu/mobo/ram  in a year or two
