[Tom Watkins]

Alright so im currently rocking the setup in the picture which includes my 

I5 4690K

GTX 1070

16GB DDR3 Ram

480GB SSD

1TB HDD

550W Power supply

Coolermaster Haf X

 

And next month im looking to upgrade,  im currently thinking about going for the

I7 7700K 

H110i Liquid Cooler

An Asus/MSI Motherboard

16GB DDR4 memory

Corsair 570X Case

and a new 750W Power supply

 

So what im asking for is, Your opinion on the Upgrades, and what motherboard you think would be a good match for this setup.

Thank you in advance for your assistance

Your PC doesn't need an upgrade really performance wise, I'd hold out for Ryzen to see what it offers, should be a 6 core/12 thread CPU at around the same price of the i7 7700K

 

just get like a single 21:9 3440x1440p display and call it a day, AOC has one that's only $500

Don't buy new PSU, I have my 6700k and 1070 Strix runing on 550W and It never reaches even 350W from the wall.. (both heavily OC-ed) I would however recommend you WD Black 2TB hdd, It's great for storage, best in class. I see you only have 1.5tb combined.. Invest in MB with onboard wifi and bluetooth.. Nice setup btw, I like how you put the left monitor on the gtx 1070 box hahah

Unless your 4 cores are stressed, you wouldn't gain much from the 7700k with the amount spent on the platform. Unless you want some of that hot Netflix 4k DRM action. 

 

With your setup, I'd focus on the less glam stuff since performance is good. Maybe add a 2TB drive for more storage (rocking the Seagate 2TB Firecuda myself). Monitor arms for your monitors will make a cleaner set up with that Nvidia box getting a rest lol.. OH, an extended mousepad would be nice, too.
