i7 or i9 upgrade help

[Gadgetguy007]

Currently have an old i5-2500 and Asus mobo that i would like to upgrade for gaming and video editing while im stuck at home.

Components i want to keep from my system are as follows.

Aorus GTX 1080ti

Samsung 860EVO Sata

Corsair HX750i power supply

Obsidian 750D case

Have around a grand to play with give or take and just dont have a clue about what the best route would be so after some help.

Many Thanks and best wishes for any help or advise you can offer.

If using Adobe then intel still wins, regardless if you Chuck AMD cores at it. Current intel 9th gen are superceded with incoming 10th gen that unlocked hyper threading .

Also AMD side , b550 is launching with b450 and x570 not supporting Ryzen 4*** CPUs coming end of the year

Least your doubling your core count and thread count up by x4 !

32GB maybe overkill but added it due to video editing. Can always drop to 16GB

Many thanks indeed and do use most Adobe products.

What would be a decent Cooler for the intel build?

Would this be any good as i would like something to build now and im not impressed with the latest intel release to be honest.

Sorry for being a pain.
