Looking to upgrade

[1chalupa]

My current build is around 5 years old now....... 

It has been having some issues with BSOD but performance is starting to not be up to par when rendering or other larger projects. 

 

Here is what I have now: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yfnfCy 

 

I think what I need to upgrade is the CPU, Mobo, RAM, and maybe cooler if the H80i is not compatible. 

 

I do alot of photo and video work - high res photos and 4k video. right now for some project 16gb of ram is not enough, 

I do also game but not as much, mostly fps or kinda whatever I feel like doing.

 

Would love to not spend a ton of money, but I definitely want the performance to last.

Wait for Ryzen 5 and get the 1600X or the 1600

how much of a difference in performance is there between Ryzen 5 and 7?

Not much, it lacks 2 cores, but it will cost less than $250, which is almost $100 less than the lowest end Ryzen 7 CPU...

Wait and see how R5 performs in those tasks. I guess R7 is nice if you can spend on

There won't be much difference, Adobe is very clock speed dependant, so it should be pretty close....

But motherboards don't affect gaming performance...

X370 can do sli (1080ti for example) which means more performance than crossfiring a 2 480
