So my mighty 2500K just inst cutting it. I wish to keep my case, gpu (970 gtx) and psu (750w)

 

I run the free version of Davinci Resolve and Photoshop work. Play the odd game(PUBG, Star Wars fallen order)

 

Im looking at the following: 

 

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Processor

 

Gigabyte X570 GAMING X Gaming Motherboard

 

G.Skill Trident Z Neo RGB 32GB (2x16GB) Kit DDR4-3600 CL16

 

Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD

 

Seagate Barracuda 4TB 256MB SATA3 Hard Drive

 

Looking to last me about 6-10 years with a gpu update at some stage. I seem to be fine with 16gb ram now but might as well get 32gb while I can.
Picking the AMD is currently best bang for buck?
Any thoughts?

3900x is a good 50% step up for multi-threaded performance.

Power usage doesn’t drastically change, 70-100W vs 100-130W depending on load and clocks.

Unless you intend to run dual gpu’s or other thing then a recommended wattage is usually around the 500W range.
