New Gaming PC Build LGA1151 or 2066

[CMDR_Vortex]

The goal is to upgrade my current PC.  I will not replace my ASUS ROG Strix OC 980TI at this point, I want to wait mid year 2018.

 

Current PC.

AMD 8120 ( 8 Core) which is overclocked to 4gig

16GIG RAM

SSD HDD

ASUS ROG Strix OC 980TI

Monitor is ASUS Rog Swift PG279Q

 

I want to re-use my power supply and video card to save me some money.  I would like to spend less than 1700 excluding video card and power supply.

 

I use my PC primary PC for gaming and do occasionally run a VM for Linux, light photo shop and video creation with tech smith software.  I play Rainbow6 Seige, MW Online and multiple FPS games along with RP games.

New PC

I am looking at I8700K ( LGA 1151), i7740 LGA2066 4 Core, or I7800 LGA2066 6 Core)

Decided on new SSD HD since PCIE M2 speed is way faster than most games need. I can add another disk later  and I will added PCIE M2 1TB For Data.

Corsairs Vengeance DDR4 3000 - 32 gig but 16gig would be fine also

1080TI some time in 2018.

 

The I7700K processor is still amazing but I wanted to have some growth.  the X gen processors are brand new and I know will be around but the 8700K processor is awesome also.

 

What do you guys think.

 

Thanks.
