time for an upgrade

[darksoul43]

time to upgrade my rig, running a i5 720 and hd 7970, 

im going to say what ill be using this system with and what for

even just some advice for choosing parts would also be helpful

Use:

Gaming: 45% of the time

Photoshop/light room: 40%

3d rendering (learning): 15%

Periherals (or however you spell it)

ultrawide: main

4k: secondary

Budget:

$2000

max: $2500(usd)

so can you guys put a part list for me within the budget? i would like a 6800k and would like single gpu if possible

NOTE: ssd and at least 2tb hdd is a must, would like aircooling for longevity, but feel free to include liquid cooling

Only 1 monitor, but close to what was requested.

Those are nice builds and I should have stated this in my original post,  Im not worried about a fancy motherboard and I'm putting the monitors and such into a separate parts list

So, 2000-2500 is for the PC only? Monitors go out of different budget?

Both are blue themed and space friendly  They could also have a second set of RAM put in and still be under $2500 for 64GB of RAM or get a boot SSD with that money, your choice.

OK, I went $50 over the max but for that you get 4K G-sync display included, so you can game on it smoothly even if you can't achive 60FPS in the game, or it doesn't like ultrawide resolutions.

The cost could be brought down if you go with less RAM, but this kind of system deserves 32GB.
