So i've had a home built system for about 10 years now centred on the 4770k and I feel it's time for an upgrade
It's water-cooled in a corsair 750D case. Reservoir & pump combo is a front bay mounted XSPC unit D2 XSPC X20 750 with 1x 140mm, 1x 280mm & 1x 420mm radiators.
I have a Dell S2719DGF monitor - 27" 1440p 144 Hz that I'll be using and don't need a keyboard mouse or Windows and I was thinking of keep the watercooling & the case too.

I'd like a recommendation of a MB, CPU + Waterbock, RAM & Storage (I have plenty old drives, both HDD & SSD, but I am sure a new unit would be better than reusing on old drive for the OS)

Also recommendations for a 'starter' air cooled GPU to keep me going till I upgrade the GPU to one with a waterblock in a few months time.

I've been away from the PC building scene for years and have no clue on what's what..

I play mostly Assetto Corsa with a bit of Battlefield & other FPS now and again.

Total budget for now is 100-1200 for the above,

Thanks in advance,
 
For a little more context on me upgrading, I started with the 4770k on air with a R9 290X. I eventually did a ghetto-watercooling setup on the GPU using a CPU AIO with a custom bracket and a set of heatsinks.
After that I did 3x R9 290's under a full water loop then eventually replaced them with 2x 1080 Ti's again under water.
They too eventually got sold and replaced with a 5700xt, again under water.
All the GPU's were sold for pretty much purchase price due to the various mining runs there have been over the last 10+ years.

I guess the point is that I'd rather go max on the CPU now as it will likely stay put for a while..

Just looked again and racing game you like, at 1440p the 7800x3d was 28% faster than the 13900k, using 6000ram (didn’t check precise ram timings)think it was compared to 13900k using 7200 speed ram

Thanks for this, I wasn't aware of that YouTube channel and yes that Ryzen looks the better choice,
