Upgrading PC

[CrispyPeddler]

Hi, planning to do an upgrade and totally revamp my current comp..any suggestion for the parts?

Consideration:
1. No overclocking
2. Budget: 2k
3. GPU: 1080TI
4. New Case (trying to sell off my current case)

I know about GPU performance but for cpu and ram...totally confuse. some ram stick have certain mhz and compatible and work best with certain board or certain cpu .

1080ti will probably eat up 60-70% of your budget lol

mostly just games. in 1440p. some basic lightroom photo editing...

i want it to be fast~~smooth~~

1440p if 60hz, a gtx 1080 is enough. Coz I have the same exact setup. Almost everything can ultra as long as the msaa and anisotropic is lowered.

i know. just wanted more frames. its kinda irritating whenever i saw the fps counter drop below 60

Honestly would pair it with a 7600k and a Z270 mobo. Kinda tight even then but you may have to either compromise on mobo or casing. If can up, would recommend Gigabyte Z270 Gaming 7 with 7600k. Casing depends on your preference.

Ram wise not sure if you can re-use but Z270 mobo all can use high clocked memories and you should not use anything less than 3,200Mhz for the new setup. That is my recommendation.

No point buying K cpu if not overclocking?

I still advise ryzen with slight overclock, really easy to do nowadays

Same. Would suggest Ryzen with overclocking rather than its Intel equivalent.
