Upgrade PCs While Using Pwr Conditioner?

I had been using a RGPC 600S power conditioner with its stock PC. I will have my Teres 320 TT/Accustic Arts DAC and Drive/Tron Syren pre/Audiopax 88 monos to (potentially) run into it. I have not yet upgraded any of the stock PCs, including the cord on the power conditioner. I have a dedicated outlet/circuit for my audio equipment.

I could use some advice on optimizing my power delivery. Do I (a) keep the RGPC 600S, but upgrade only its PC, (b) ditch the RGPC and upgrade each component's PC, (c) keep the RGPC and upgrade ALL PCs, or (d) not be so friggin obsessed and just enjoy the music?

If the power conditioner is working correctly, why would one need to have upgraded PCs for the components plugged into it.

Thanks.

The first question I would ask myself is does the power conditioner improve the sound. If yes, then I would go on to the power cords. But in all circumstances I would not obsess over it and just enjoy the music.

Actually I would take Tvad's suggestion and install another dedicated line. Then move onto power cords and unless you can prove to yoourself the conditioner is needed I would forget about it.
