1. should i upgrade to new AMD Ryzen7 1800x.... will i get performance boost???

2. wht parts i need to chnge ...??

It will certainly speed up your rendering.

1.- Yes you will but get the 1700 non-X and with an overclock it would perform same as 1800x

2.- You would need new motherboard and cpu. (faster ram is recommended to get)

1. Yes.
2. CPU (for sure), Mobo, cooler (stock cooler maybe?)

1. Deffo better for rendering. Worse for gaming but only matters if u have 144Hz monitor. On 60Hz it can still keep up.

 

2. CPU, Motherboard and MAYBE RAM (there has been some issues with low clock or high capacity ram sticks, not sure if it has been resolved yet).

i would wait for next years CPUs as the upgrade would be even better

i agree with u, i also think this  new series will be more stable in next release....>>>>

since you already have a very good PC you may want to consider if an upgrade is worth your money. if you are unhappy with the amount of time it takes atm then rendering will be faster on a ryzen but not so much that i would personally bother to switch unless the machine made me money or i just want to cause tech makes me happy. certainly ther are small trade offs with a 7700k to Ryzen system. either of these CPU's should be considered amazing.

If you want to get it past the Ryzen 1800x oc'd slap https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814105069&cm_re=WX_7100_100-505826-_-14-105-069-_-Product

one of these bad boys in it if you have an open PCIe spot open. If you can sacrifice some 4k gaming graphics, as it games more like an oc'd 1070, then replace your 1080 with it (You can just sell your 1080 for almost the cost of the other card if you want). If you have the open slot, it is as easy as just hooking both up to your monitor, and switching between display input on your display. Your PC will auto switch and you are golden.

 

You'd literally have the best of both worlds, and a card that can go with you in a year or two when you switch to Ryzen (if you don't go with an new Intel Chipset; please don't, make them have competition for 2 series of chips, so they finally drop fricken prices ;^) .

I posted a link to a 5100 (480 gaming graphics, 1080 rendering, yeah that makes sense for a switch. Changed it to the 7100.
