Streaming/Photo Editing Rig Planning

[kels]

This is EVERYTHING I want to upgrade with my setup minus peripherals because I already have what I like. 

Is there anything you would change? Going for black/red aesthetic so preferred that but not totally essential.

What do you edit photos with? It might be worthwhile to change over to an Intel processor if its the Adobe CC

Some small changes. If you are using core heavy workloads, it might be worth it to switch to treadripper

I've heard over and over Ryzen is better for stuff like that, then you say that and I get confused. 
I used a little bit older version of Lightroom/photoshop because I really don't like LR CC.

I don't think I'll be doing enough to need threadripper. Just single 5k res photo editing at a time and light streaming single player games for friends and stuff.

Ryzen is fantastic, I'm totally on board with using the 2700 for workloads like what you're doing. However, the Adobe CC apps run slightly better on the architecture in Intel's processors. You have a fair budget, which is why I mentioned it

I was gonna go for the 8700k originally but was told to go Ryzen for what I was planning. Budget isn't really that big of a deal as long as I'm not doing crazy stuff like 1,300$ 2080ti's and whatnot. All coming out of my own wallet so I can save as long as I need to.

2700x will definitely be the best bang for your buck. If you really don't care about budget - I'd say switch over to the 9900k for the 13(ish)% performance boost

 

But otherwise the 2700x is super economical and will perform just fine for your use case
