Hi all, been out of touch of the hardware scene since i got my i5 2500k back in 2011. due for an upgrade since i'm doing some video work now in adobe premiere pro


aiming for i7 4790K this time...

current stuff that can be recycled from my old computer:

Crucial Ballistix Tactical 16GB Kit (8GBx2) 240-Pin DDR3 1866 MT/s (PC3-14900) <- can this be recycled, kinda newb when it comes to compatibility?
Zotac GTX 780
storage: 2 SSDs (crucial m4 128 GB and intel 530 256 GB), 1TB Hitachi HDD
1 intel 730 480 gb SSD on the way from amazon
monitor and peripherals


the rest i would like to get brand new
budget is about 1.8K preferably with mid to high end range components.. anyone can assist? mobo brand preference would be asrock or asus...
