Help make my PC great again!

[NPSTR107]

I built my first PC around 7 years ago using Linus's ULTIMATE Build a Better $2000 Gaming & Silent Workstation PC Computer "How To" Guide back in 2013, with similar specs. That's still the same PC I use today, albeit with a few small upgrades. However, as I am now trying to edit 4K video in Premiere with an extremely stuttery playback, I'm looking to put another $1,700AUD (inc.shipping) into my PC.

 

80% of my use is Photoshop, Premiere and other editing applications, some GPU heavy, and some CPU heavy. I barely use it for gaming anymore, but when I have the chance, it's mainly sim based games like ETS2+ProMods, Cities Skylines, BeamNG.Drive, which I like to crank the settings up to ultra. I'd really like to get back into ETS2+ProMods, and my PC currently has a really tough time running it, probably due to the huge map size? IDK.

 

I am only really looking to upgrade CPU, RAM, MOBO, & PSU. I have laid out what I think would be a good upgrades, however I am open to suggestions. 

 

Current & Proposed PC Specs:

 

CPU               Intel Core i7-4770k, never overclocked, stock cooler                                                

PROPOSED: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X                                                      $499 exl. shipping

 

MOBO           ASUS Sabertooth Z87                                                                                               

PROPOSED: ASUS TUF Gaming X570-PLUS (WI-FI) AM4               $335 exl. shipping

 

RAM              Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 (2x8GB)                                                                 

PROPOSED: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4-3600        $349 exl. shipping

 

PSU               Hytec 950W non-moduar, would like to replace with a more reputable brand          

PROPOSED: Corsair RM (2019) 850W 80+ Gold, Fully Modular        $209 exl. shipping

 

Things that I'm not changing:

STORAGE  Many SSD's and HDD's

GPU            NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080Ti, never overclocked

CASE          Corsair 500R White

 

I would wait until the prices for these items go down to buy to save some $'s. I'm also fine with stock cooling unless there is a reasonable increase in performance per $.

Also, already have a WiFi PCI-e card, however Bluetooth would be good.

you could get ryzen  9 3900x with be quiet dark rock pro 4 with that budget.  Anyways the stock cooler of ruzen 7 3700x is decent but you should get another cooler. Liek arctic freezer 34 duo

I may be able to just squeeze that out, the cheapest 3900X is $739AUD, so the shipping all up may take me just over budget.

you got enough budget for a 3900x

this should give you some headroom to overclock.
