i do some light video and photo editing on the side

no worries. appreciate the advice either way!

the mother board and memory are sold out in Canada

any reason for the 2700x over 3600?

totally fine with switching to AMD. thinking of upgrading RAM too. any suggestions?

Need some advice on pc parts upgrades. Built it back in 2017 and haven't upgraded anything since. Thinking of upgrading my CPU and Motherboard cause everything else still seems good to run the latest games? Willing to spend ~ CAD 500 - 600 but flexible. Might upgrade to 1440p 144hz gaming in the near future but don't have the money for a graphic card or monitor upgrade yet CPU: Intel i5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHz w/ HYPER 212 EVO cooler Motherboard: H170 Gaming M3 (Bought the wrong motherboard for an unlocked CPU, I know :/) Graphics Card: GIGABYTE G1 GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5 RAM: HyperX FURY 16GB (4 x 4GB) @ 2133 MHz Storage: HyperX Fury 240 GB SSD, 2 TB, and 4 TB Hard Drive Power Supply: EVGA 650 GQ, 80+ GOLD 650W Case: NZXT S340 Displays: BENQ XL 2420z 1080p 144hz Monitor + LG 4k Monitor (I do a little bit of photo and video editing)

Using a gtx 965m would be great if I can get an upgrade and build a desktop
