Upgrading my 8yr old set-up (Needing Some/ALOT of Suggestions)

[FrostyRaptor]

Budget (including currency): 1,600-2,000 USD

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: RPGs (Witcher 3, BG3), alittle fps, alittle city builder, alittle bit of everything really at or near ultra/high graphics settings (dont know if thats dilusional with the budget). 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

I am trying to upgrade my set-up which I've currently had for about 8 years now (is running minecraft at like 20FPS). Since I haven't built a computer in ages I need some help deciding on what parts I should go with. This is my first time posting here so hopefully I am doing this right! You can leave the peripherals out of the budget I am just looking for some good suggestions, definitely need a new mouse and monitor. My keyboard is a relativley new Keychron K2, so not looking to change that right now. 

 

My Current Set-up (almost everyday for 8 years): 

Anker Mouse

Asus monitor

i5-7500 3.40ghz CPU

Some random 2x8GB Corsair ram

Corsair CX550M PSU

MSI B250 Gaming Motherboard

Asus Rx 580 GPU

Samsung 1tb external ssd

A random corsair case (couldn't find it). 

 

I spent less than or around 1k on this. For the new build I would like to use the Fractal North White case but that is really all I have figured out so far. 

Thanks!!

The 120mm fan goes inside the back of this case for a exhaust fan.

I'm guessing since you're not including the monitor in your budget you'd be looking to upgrade that at another time. Check ohy Monitor unboxed on YT they have regular round ups for different monitors. Would recommend going 1440p.

 

And to give my two cents on the two build lists already provided, go with the 7900xtx one if you don't plan on using raytracing and 4070 ti super if you do. I've never used raytracing so can offer any advice on whether or not I feel its worth the lower FPS.
