Planning a new build, need some input

TheRevTastic

Alright I need some help planning out my new build. I don't really have a budget, recently started a new position at my job that gives me a huge pay increase.

 

Currently I have:

 

gtx 780

i7-4790k

some power supply Ive had since 2012

8gb of ddr3 ram

250gb intel ssd

1tb hdd

500gb hdd

I forgot which one it is but the corsair liquid cooling product

And a motherboard that I don't think supports nvme

 

 

I'm wanting to build a new rig and keep the current one for what ever needs and purposes I see fit later down the line, maybe a dedicated streaming rig or maybe just a server.

 

My new rig needs to be suited for gaming at 1440p with goals of max settings also at 144hz. Also want to use it for video editing, photoshop, after effects, programming and other basic tasks. And in case I don't use the old pc for a streaming rig I'd like for it to be able to record and also stream gameplay at either 720p or 1080p 60hz at the same time.

 

 

Now I'm not sure where to start. I know I want an nvme ssd that has a high amount of storage space (want to use it for booting and also keeping some games and programs on there like pubg/gta v/rdr2/cyberpunk/league of legends/all adobe programs that i'll be using) and I also want to upgrade away from my current HDD's that I've also had since 2012, for those I'm looking to have a total of like 5-10tb of space (I store all of my movies to use on plex on my hdd's).

 

Graphics card wise I'm not sure what to get. I'm thinking of the 2080 ti or maybe something amd?

 

Processor is the same. Leaning between the i9-9900k or something amd (I haven't paid too much attention to amd lately to know what compares and what could be better).

 

Motherboard I'd like to have something that can also do Bluetooth so I can connect Bluetooth devices like controllers etc without always needing a wire.

 

Power supply I'd love to have something fully modular. I'm terrible on my current build when it comes to wire management and that's partly due to the excess of cables from my psu that I just shove in there. Probably something 850w or more.

 

Ram I'd like to have ddr4 and at least 32gb or more (trying to future proof for games a bit even though I know that's stupid, and because I like to have a lot of tabs open in firefox)

 

Cooling I'm probably going to stick with corsairs liquid solutions but upgrade to one of their newer ones as mine is showing it's age (have had it for maybe 3 or 4 years now).

 

I'd also love to have a dedicated sound card if that's smart at all. I've always thought about it but have never actually looked into what I should get or what's best.

 

Other than that I'm not really sure what else I would need or require that's a must. I love RGB though so if any of your suggestions could have that as a factor that'd be nice lol.

Thank you very much!

 

I actually love that build list after looking it all over. I may end up picking a different case but that all depends if I find one I like a lot.

 

The soundcard actually looks decent (I think, I also know nothing about them). I may just go post in the soundcard forum here to find out which one to get.
