Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by
I have been willing to upgrade my current rig for the past year, and I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on my plan. Below is what I currently use:
i7-4790K OC with H115i cooler
MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
240GB SSD + 2x2TB 3.5" 7200RPM HDD in RAID 0
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 4GB Hybrid
PSU EVGA 1000W 80+ Gold
Now here are my 3 options:
LGA1151: i7-8700K with MSI Z370 GAMING PRO CARBON
AM4: Ryzen 7 2700X with MSI X470 GAMING M7 AC
TR4: Threadripper 1900X with MSI X399 GAMING PRO CARBON AC
All will have:
Corsair Vengeance RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3600
Samsung 960 EVO 1TB M.2-2280
I use my PC for gaming and streaming on Twitch as well as making YT videos. I would love to hear what you guys recommend even if it's outside of my 3 options.
I do care about future upgradeability, but I'm also trying to keep my budget for this around $1k +/- $150
