Help with new upgrade/new rig options insights

[Edulon4000]

I believe I have upgraded my rig to the point of no return and need to start anew with most likely, a new mobo, memory, cpu, gpu.

 

My current specs are below. I have been seriously considering the i5 9600k paired with a solid mobo and probably a 2070 super? I currently mainly use the rig for some Vive VR, a lot of 3840x1080 F1 racing and other gaming (hitman 2, dishonored, xcom 2, outer worlds, etc...), for audio engineering, and I have a ton of hard drives so I prefer a motherboard with plenty of Sata options. I don't really plan on streaming or video editing anytime soon. Just looking for the next major upgrade that should last me a few years (at least the core system mobo, cpu, memory, etc...)

 

Money isnt a major concern but would like to stick to around 1000$ for the upgrade

 

 

current rig is asus rog hero 7, i5 4590k, 980ti hybrid, 32 gb ddr3, and like 6-8 hard drives (ssd and hdd)

 

Thanks for any insights

You already have hard drives so i didn't add one.

You will also have to buy fans for the case.

thanks. couple hopefully quick questions... Is this Ryzen very forwards compatible? (able to hold up to reasonably high end/enthusiast gaming for at least 3 years?) Also, with no AMD experience, is it that different from setting up a pc with an intel CPU? Lastly, would the evga 2070 hybrid (water cooled) give me much of an OC/temp bonus over a fan version?

current rig is asus rog maximus hero 7, i5 4690k, 980ti hybrid, 32 gb ddr3, and like 6-8 hard drives (ssd and hdd), i also have a cooler master cpu water cooler AIO which is around 2 years old, and am not sure if thats worth using or not.

 

Also, does it make more sense for me to try to sell my old parts as a complete build, or part by part?

 

Thanks for any insights

Just sell them except the drives if you want them. Not really that much of an upgrade around 1000$ range.

Which PSU, case?

 

You'd need a new CPU, MBO and RAM, maybe even a PSU if it's from the time of the CPU.

 

The water cooler is probably fine if it's really 2 years, they usually last 3 years or longer.
