i7-2600K 3.40GHz Sandybridge LGA1155 upgrade

[Opkin]

Hi All,

Sorry I know this question is asked a lot, don't hate me!

I've not touched my 10 year old system in a fair few years and am looking to upgrade.

Intel Core i7-2600K 3.40GHz - 650D Case - TX 650W V2 PSU - H60 CPU Cooler - Vengeance 16GB DDR3 1600MHz - GTX 1060 6GB.

Use: Full Adobe CC suite, Zbrush, Solidworks/Keyshot & Flight sims and motorsport (games)

I have been looking into some builds and specs but tbh the more I research the more confused I become!

I guess I'm looking for a similar spec to when I bought my current build but 10 years on. Is it worth keeping some components or upgrade all? One thing I'd like is to reduce the case size also, m-atx maybe.

Budget for a full rebuild around £1200-1500.

Many thanks Andrew!

Thank you!
I was just about to ask if I could use my H60 with an adaptor plate/bracket or something if they even exist, also if I went with a 5800X I could upgrade later for more cores but @Joxeon has already answered that question provided they are the same chipset and I could use the same board suggested by @mickyflinn.
So if they're both AM4 sockets what is the difference between a 550 MB and 570 MB?

Would the 5900X need a x570 MB and the 5800 a B550?
