Firstly I need to know if I should upgrade the PC I've currently got or should I completely rebuild a new one.

Even if i was too use some of the parts I've currently got. Your opinions are worthy as I'm not sure.

Spoiler:

Mouse: Thermaltake esports LEVEL 10 M
Keyboard: Corsair Vengeance K70 (Black w/ Red LED's)
Monitor: Asus VS248 (1920x1080@60Hz)
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-3570 CPU @ 3.40GHz Ivy Bridge
MotherBoard: Asus P8Z77-V LX
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970- (ASUS)
HDD: 3TB Seagate
RAM: 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3
Wireless adapter: TP-LINK 300Mbps Wireless N Adapter
Sound Card: Creatize Sound Blaster Z (Has 5.1 audio, great sound and good software customization).
Power Supply: Antec 750w Gold 80 plus Bronze

Design me a build purely for Gaming & Graphical designing, appreciated!

BUDGET for new PC: $1.5k

First and foremost, what's your overall usability?

What am I doing aha, that should of been mentioned in the OP, apologize.

Gaming and Graphical work are my main focuses, I do all my study on a laptop so work related stuff is out of the picture.

Updated OP.

Like @mothered said, what is your overall use?

If you run lots of VM's, upgrading to 32GB wouldn't be overkill, for just gaming it should handle everything you throw at it no?

I certainly agree and strongly recommend It.

I'm running 6 simultaneous VMs, with more than enough physical available Ram on hand.

As mentioned, gaming & designing.

None of this makes sense to me, I simply need a build listed one by one & I'll go purchase it.

Trusting yall here.

In your locality, "MSY" Is very competitive with prices and also good with custom builds.

Obviously for gaming and designing you'll need a decent GPU, but you also need to consider future developments. That Is, your needs may change over time and you need to accommodate accordingly with better specs. Having an overkill now, will see you through for ex-amount of years ahead.

@Aeolian if you're big into designing you probably want a decent graphics card. I'd go for an 1080 just to make sure you'll have enough power in the feature. Maybe combine that with a new Ryzen CPU and 16GB of DDR4 (I always prefer Crucial) of RAM, the rest of the parts won't be that important I think.

Just as a matter of interest, are you not satisfied with the results of your current build?

Noted!

Currently going through the website, hopefully I pick up on a few things.

Ahh in that case if GPU & RAM are the main components, would I be better off upgrading my current build?

Personally the build I've got feels sluggish and has been slowing down alot recently. I've done multiple cleanups to a major extent and only micro improvements have been noticed.

[Bish0pQ]

@Aeolian Yes, I think so, you might want to upgrade your GPU, install watercooling (might be able to overclock your CPU some more), and get some more RAM. Also if you're planning on upgrading more in the future, I'm not sure 750W would give you enough power.
