Upgrading ryzen 1700x

[Jordanjenks123]

Im an animator Would upgrading from ryzen 1700x with rx 480 graphics card to 

 

Threadripper 1950x with 1080 gpu

 

Would it Increase animating power enough to valid the £1600 price tag ?

I would look into the 1070 ti or the 1080 ti.

the 1070 ti has about the same performence as a 1080

and the 1080 ti is just the best you can get in the pascal linup

Go for it, but not GTX 1080. A quadro or even better a radeon pro WX gpu is probably a much better choice for what you do.

So when I looked up your software, the only program that would actually benefit is Maya. Photoshop definitely doesn't need 16 cores, and tvpaint is a similar story. Maya can use many cores for very complex renders, and I'm unaware as to whether or not it can enable OpenCL acceleration, but you should find out before you buy new hardware. Your system seems great for these tasks, and I don't feel like a 1080 would help if cuda acceleration isn't available to you. Also, how much ram do you have?

16gb ram, I was thinking of maybe upgrading to 32gb and then getting better cooling to overclock my cup

I'd say check out what system usage is if your renders or general use is slow. You might only be held back by ram.
