Hey there!

 

So I am planning on upgrading my pc with a new CPU, Motherboard and Ram. Which goes together as this is my current build:

 

i7-4790k

gtx 1080

Motherboard not sure but wasnt a good one^^

 

I am using video editing software, photoshop etc and also game quite a lot. The GPU should be good enough as Im gaming on a 1080 144hz monitor.

Does anyone have any recommendations on what combination of CPU(with a cooler), RAM and Motherboard I should get?

 

Budget is around 500-600. Can stretch it more if really worth it though!

It's worth waiting for zen2 which will be released June/July. Do that if you can. If you can't wait, here's an option you could buy now:

Don't spend more than you need to. And you don't need to spend anymore than this. 8 Cores for the video editing side of things, fast ram to make the most out of ryzen in gaming and a solid b450 motherboard. You are from Luxembourg apparently though, and this should still be under 500 in euros (I assume it's Euros?)

2700x and 2700 are the same price on pcpp

2700 is $289 on outlet PC, 2700x is $289 on Amazon.

May as well get the 2700x since it has higher base clock and higher turbo.

 

Personally, I would get an aftermarket cooler; but the Ryzen stock coolers are pretty good if you don't OC. 

If you did want to go with an aftermarket cooler, these would be my picks:

better than stock:

-Cryorig H7

-Noctua NH-U12S

much better than stock:

-Croyrig R1

-BeQuiet! Dark Rock Pro 4

-Noctua NH-D15
