For each room in my house I was thinking of each room having their own circuit. However currently one circuit may feed multiple rooms or just a partial room.

The bedrooms will have flat panel tv's and computers in each one along with standard ceiling fans and alarms, etc...

Kitchen will have standard microwave, small appliances, 2 refrigerators (one with just a refrigerator and one with both a refrigerator and freezer section) (stove is gas)

Front room will have flat panel TV and standard ceiling fan and lighting, surround sound and three gaming systems.

Computer room will have multiple computers with ceiling fan and lighting.

The rest of the rooms bathroom, laundry room etc will have the circuits already for the appliances etc needed.

What is best for each room?

What exactly are you asking?
Certain rooms cannot mix lighting and receptacles, certain rooms can with restrictions, certain rooms it doesn't matter.

I guess I was asking for that information on a room by room basis from what I posted. I just took the long way around lol. Sorry my mind does not always match my typing.

There are plenty of good books on home wiring. If you need info on every room and area in the house I'm really sorry, but I am not typing all that.
I bet someone will be along that is willing.

I thank you for the honesty. Condensed version. Should I have 2 circuits for each basic room one for lighting and one for receptacles or will one do it in most instances?

You are better off to split lighting from outlets. If you put them together, and overload an outlet, you will have no lights yo see. You rarely overload a lighting circuit.

Thank you all for your answers
