Upgrading from i7-2600K, and feeling lost!

[swinnie]

Hi All,

My PC that I built in 2011 has given up the ghost - and I don't know where to start.

i7-2600K
16GB RAM
500GB SSD
And a few data drives
ATI 6850 Graphics - triple display.

I'm completely out of the game when it comes to new hardware these days, and it seems that Ryzen maybe the way to go?

My PC is certainly a workhorse, as I use it for work, photography and a little bit of gaming. Simulator titles mainly - ETS2, ATS.

Work wise is pretty varied from the basic stuff, Adobe Creative Suite, occasional use of virtual machines for testing.

Ideally I'd like to keep the built cost at a £1000 or less, but open to suggestions?

Many thanks

Yeah Ideally I need to get something ordered and built this week.

Thanks for the idea so far, would like to replace the case as never been happy with it. I'll re-use all of my drives, and also the power supply is fairly new Corsair 800W or so.

I never got this sorted as been a bit busy with various work projects.

What would peoples thoughts now being based on Ryzen 4000?
