Hi!

I am looking to upgrade my pc currently using this specs

i5-3470
gtx 970
8gb DDR3
Asus P8H61-M LX R2.0
Hitachi 2 TB HDD 5940RPM
WDC 1TB HDD 7200RPM
Seasonic m12 620w PSU

Im currently using it for AAA gaming(RTS and RPG) and as a workstation for Autodesk softwares(2d and 3d),sketchup, and vray and lumion for rendering(renderings are very GPU dependent). I am looking at replacing the CPU,MOBO, RAM and adding an SSD as well. im thinking of going for the following:

i7-7700k/6700k or i5-7600k/6600k (or would AMD's new ryzen run better?)
Ripjaw 2 x 8GB DDR4

However need some advice on which Motherboard and SSD to pick. I will overclock the cpu but not by too much. Budget would go to 700-750$.

Thanks in advance!
