Build questions, any advice would help!

[Arkery]

Hi, new to the forums and looking for a bit of advice! 

 

  So I'm giving my nephew my 1070 and decided that it would be time for an upgrade on my entire build. I'm set in stone on a 1080ti so that's the only item on my list set in stone.

   I use my pc for audio and content creation, as well as a bit of gaming of course, I'd like to look into 4k video rendering. As of right now my 4690k does the job fine but she's getting a bit tired. I have a habit of keeping all of my usbs plugged in with vr and my audio set up I need more then 6 usb ports, not sure on the motherboard itself but I would enjoy rgb . I'm thinking that a ryzen 1700/1800x would suite the build fine, 16 gb ram , 2tb of ssd storage and a 750w psu. So far the only mb I found with enough ports and then some is a hero vi but I'm maliable on any of these items. Any advice would help a lot especially with ryzen as I have limited knowledge on it.

 

  Thanks for your time!

It is easier for the people here to help you if you give a link to a PCpartpicker list, just to give some advice

DId you have a color scheme in mind and a budget?

[headhunter7987]

I have a ryzen system, and although it's lower-end compared to what you're trying to build, I think I could help you out. You said you could only find 1 mobo that had enough ports. What ports exactly do you need? and how many of each?

If you aren't partial to ryzen, coffeelake intel cpu's have a little better performance

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nYnWWX Something like this would work, especially if you are willing to OC the CPU.

@headhunter7987All of my interfaces are usb 3 .0 , I would need a minimum of about 8 to handle all of my audio gear plus vr and mouse and keyboard. I haven't really thought about upgrading anything to type c yet so that's just an added bonus.  

 @attackattack0706 I'm not partial to ryzen but Intel has left me kinda salty with there most recent moves. I do need a good bit of cpu power however I had to oc my 4690k to keep audio from cracking on multiple instruments being recorded live. 

[Arkery]

@BluJay614 that is definitely a good build for what I'm looking at, oc is definitely an option since I will have to run liquid to keep my studio quiet enough to mix and master tracks, will keep this in consideration and I really appreciate it!

[headhunter7987]

Just pulled this together for you @Arkery. I think that for a little more money you could grab a little faster cpu, and that would help with oc. I also threw on an H115i AIO cooler. Tell me what you think!

An i7 7700k is the same price and offers better performance unless you're completely burned out of intel.

itd be more cost effective to get an i7 4790k

[Arkery]

@headhunter7987 that's another good build, I'll keep these in consideration and I am pretty salty with Intel as of right now. So ryzen it is for me!

 

@ImNotThere you're right the i7 upgrade would be more cost effective but the 4690k gave me a few good years and I think it's time to hop on the ddr4 bandwagon. I do appreciate your input though I had the same thoughts but I think it's just time for a pretty new build!

in terms of gaming, the 4790k will outperform the r7 cpus, personally, i would upgrade to the 4790k for now and rethink in a few years when ddr4 prices come down and ryzen has better ipc(not a ryzen hater, use a 1600 myself)
