I'm planning to upgrade my current setup. i do a bit of music production in spare time
CPU: i5 4460
GPU: gtx 970
Ram: 2x4gb ddr3
Motherboard: asrock b85m pro 4
Storage: wtb 1tb
PSU: corsair 650w

As of right now, im in desperate need of an ssd, m.2 or normal 2.5inch. Motherboard will definately be changed. Deciding between i5 7600k, i7 7700k and i7 6700k. I'm on ableton so single core processing speed is more important that multi core. Budget is around $600 AUD hopefully under $1000, because all i really want to upgrade is CPU, mobo, and storage. ram i can find it for cheap. would consider downgrading the gpu to something else, as i dont game much anymore nowadays. open to any suggestions :)

Honestly, find an i7-4790, update the BIOS on your board and be set

Upgrading the CPU is costly for little boosts.
Overall music production ain't at all so intensive on your CPU, just get 16GB RAM, maybe a CPU that's compatible to your board and a SSD (a Sata SSD will be fine)

It is hard to find an i7 4790 here in australia, and some of them price it the same or similar to an i7 7700k.
