Should have said that you needed it to do rendering
Ryzen 7 will run laps around that outdated 7700k
when it comes to rendering.

a mobo that is capable of overclocking would be good then you can upgrade to a 7700K or something similar and OC it later maybe if you wanted to do SLI/crossfire then something with more than one PCIE x16 on it, one thing i will highly reccommend is that you increase the ammount of ram you have to 16GB i was running 8GB ram and could only do about 3 hours of non intensive GTA V gameplay untill it stopped working correctly as for everything else seems fine only thing i would change is the HDD to something bigger because it gets cheaperr and i store allot of crap on my pc but up to you. also sorry for bad english its like 4AM and im slightly dunrk.
