Hello Everyone,
First off, I don't know too much about computers except what some of the parts are called and pretty much the basics.
My speccy information has been attached below. I'm looking for the best pathway in upgrading my current desktop to match or even overmatch the demands provided by most of the upcoming games. I also record music on the side through a DAW (I know some people have said there are certain processors that can balance smooth gaming and provide stress free multi-tasking such as music recording and other heavy cpu utilizing editing activities). I'm interested and curious about the new ryzen processors (AMD Ryzen 7 1700X Processor), or should I stick with the intel i7's?
So in a nutshell, I'm currently looking for a new motherboard that will be good for a few years and an optimal processor that's balanced between gaming and editing work (I especially don't want the processor to bottleneck. My set budget is about $600 to $1000 (This just includes the processor and motherboard. If price effeciency is possible, then lets include the graphics card which is about $500 when released). I've made up my mind on purchasing a 1070 ti (when it comes out of course), I just need some recommendations and suggestions from some of you guys that know a lot more than me and are knowledged in this area. I'm also actively researching and doing my homework with the current experience and knowledge I have. Thank you so much in advance, it means a lot! =)
