Hi,
I'm about to upgrade my old PC especially now when I starting to have problems with my motherboard. Here are my old spects:
MB: Asus Maximus VII Ranger
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4,4 GHz
GPU: GeForce GTX 1080Ti Zotac AMP Extreme
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB RAM DDR3
SSD: CRUCIAL MX100 512GB
SSHD: 2TB SEAGATE
PSU: CORSAIR RM 80+ GOLD 1000W

Could you help me build it up? Please. I was trying to find a CPU but it is so hard to find one which is gonna be the best for gaming. So I rely on you to help me. I'm gonna need all new parts upgraded except for GPU.
Thank you for your help.

Regards Greg

No need to apologise.

What troubleshooting have you done already to try and resolve the issue?

(USB problems can be driver related - but admit the boards controller can develop problems)

I did a lot to be honest with you. I was in touch with Asus. They were trying to help me but with no luck. Was trying with USB drivers, reinstall Windows, upgrade BIOS, restart BIOS, changing cables, changing BIOS settings. Or even more I do not remember because this issue lasts few months now. And always the same.
 
Yes I done fresh install Windows even twice (just in case).
And yes MB is securly fixed (I did not touch it from 4 years) also back I/O Backplate seems to be ok.
I use bequiet! for CPU with 2 fans temperature from 35-37 to 80-82(more or less)
And the warranty just expired. It was for 4 years.
 
I was thinking about selling my stuff. And I considered about Coffee Lake but also I was reading opinions about it and people are saying is not a point to upgrade... really?. Don't know what to do I was thinking about Core i7 8700K. I was watching on YT about Ryzen 7. And Ryzen seems to be slower about 10% in game but faster in rendering compering it with Intel i7-7700k... Well maybe will be better to wait for new Intel?
 
So I will wait for new Intel CPU and then will see so far there is no point of buying anything. Probably I will decide to buy new intel if so what about MB, RAM, PS and case with good air flow? I'm planning to spend £2000+ for everything.
 
From the old PC I'm planning to take only SSHD and SSD. I always look up for quality because I'm planning to use it at least for next 5 years. So when Intel will release new CPU I will ask again for help to choose right parts. :)
 
Hi I'm back! :)
New Intel's processor will release soon (i7-8700K). I was watching few videos on YT channel about it. And I'm impressed. What's your opinion about this i7? I think will go for it? If you agree with me can you help me to build the PC?
Motherboard (Asrock Z370 Taichi Intel Z370 or Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming Intel Z370 or maybe some other?)
RAM 3200 Mhz up to 16GB?
PSU up to 850W?
Case with good air flow?
Kraken X62 AIO Water Cooling Unit - 280mm
And plus 500GB 850 EVO SSD 2.5"

As I mentioned earlier... I'm planning to spend £2000+ for everything.
I looking forward for answer. Regards Greg.

What exactly do you use the pc for ? Just gaming ? Do you do anything else such as twitch streaming or video editing/rendering etc ?

What monitor do you have ?

As mentioned by plec, your current system is still very good.
