Hello Folks! I've been upgrading my set up since the beginning of the year. New Desk, New PC, the whole works.
I'm getting ready for the next step in upgrading my system and i'm not sure what to do next. 
I'm thinking of upgrading the CPU to a i7-7700 (no k) [http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel_(chipsets)/H110.html]

 

But i'm also considering bumping the ram from 8g up to 16 or 32 depending on if I find a good sale. (I believe the h110 can support up to 32, also, yep; overkill. Because I wanna.)

 

Finally I am yet to delve into SSD's so that might be on the agenda too.

EDIT: What I use it for:
Gaming, Music Production and Recording of Analog and Digital Tracks, Video Production, 3d Modelling, 2d Graphic Design, Amateur Coding


Spec's are below. 

Questions:

1)
Can someone confirm that the 7700 is compatible? I need more experience in this area

2)
Any Good suggestions for DDR4 Ram?

3)
What else should i add to my Motherboard? There's room. Might as well.

 

 

Thanks folks!

Need to know the actual motherboard model to answer the question. Also need to know the BIOS version installed.

 

DDR4-2400 CL 15, pretty much brand. But since you already have memory, what you get depends on how many stick comprises the 8GB installed and how may memory slots exist on the motherboard.

 

Add a 240GB+ ssd. 

 

What cpu do you currently have installed?

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
