The time is finally here where I think it is time to retire my current PC and go with a fresh start.
My current build is as follows:
AMD FX-8150 Eight-Core Processor
Corsair H60 AIO CPU Cooler (or something close to this)
Patriot 32GB DDR3 1600MHz
XFX Radeon R7 200 series 2GB GPU (can't remember exact model)
Corsair HX850i
WD 1TB 7200 HDD
Samsung 120GB SSD
Corsair Crystal 570X RGB
My main intended use for the PC is for freelance web design/development. So use of some Adobe products as well as running an Apache server on it for local development. Secondary use would be some light gaming as I am getting the urge to start back up after taking a few years off from PC gaming. The current CPU handles everything...fine but its starting to show its age.
I have $1000 dollars to spend on this upgrade but would prefer to coming in closer to the 800 dollar mark. I'm in the US.
Here is a list of the parts I have put together. I plan on keeping the case and psu.

Mostly looking for feedback on yes I should do something about my dinosaur. The only thing I have really been going back and forth on is upgrading the GPU but I also know its old.
Any tips, help or suggestions welcome.
