Upgrading an 8 year old system for video editing / media

[Mark101]

My home-built PC is getting quite slow doing the media-heavy tasks (audio and video production) which I do every day.

I was tempted to get a new processor, but my motherboard can only support up to the i7-7700K which is slower than much cheaper modern processors. Is it time for a complete new rig, or are there parts of this one I can salvage?

• MSI H110M Motherboard
• i5 6500 @ 3.20GHz
• 16GB DDR4 3000MHz RAM
• GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER
• EVGA 430W PSU
• Corsair 88R case
• 1TB and 250GB SSDs

If it will get me good improvements, I'm happy to spend up to maybe £600-800 or so. Of course if I can get a lot of improvement by spending more like £200-300, that would be preferable.

Certainly happy to get a new mobo — it's been a long time since I built a system, am I right in saying that a A320 mobo would fit in my case / work with my RAM and GPU? Would also be keen to expand storage with an M.2 drive so this could kill two birds with one stone.
