High End PC Upgrade

[HPV]

Hi guys, I work in video production but also game a lot at a fairly high level - I'm looking to upgrade my PC to get more frames per second in games and also export complex 4k edits faster which needs a lot of CPU power. I'm after a processor with lots of cores that can also get as close to 5ghz as possible.

Current build:
I7 6900k
GtX 1080 ti strixx
128gb DDR 4 Ram
Samsung 860 pro SSDs
Titanium X99 motherboard
Asus PG279 & Acer Predator XB321HK

Processor budget ideally around £1000 but can go higher if neccesary. I understand the motherboard would need changing too, any reccomendations on that front would be super helpful. I'll swap the 1080 ti for a 2080 ti and hopefully keep the RAM which is DDR4.

Would I need to go with water cooling for a good i9 build? I read they can get really hot.. Thanks in advance for any advice

Hey Quarts, thanks for your reply! I've overclocked the 6900k to 3.8ghz - can't get higher without it becoming unstable - with the overclock I'm not getting enough frames per second in games, pretty sure the CPU is the bottleneck on that front as the GPU isn't working very hard. I'd prefer to have one PC that's so overkill it can do both well, is that possible? Surely it's just a case of selecting the right i9 that has enough cores to edit well and can be safely overclocked as close to 5ghz as possible? Also I believe Adobe works better with Intel and I use Adobe After Effects, Premier Pro & Photohsop a lot so intel is where i'd like to stay ideally.

For example this one says 4.9ghz capable - not sure if capable means easily capible, maybe I'd need heavy cooling? https://www.overclockers.co.uk/inte...e-socket-lga2066-processor-oem-cp-00f-oe.html
