Building new PC Need help with parts

[TGMC]

So I'm building myself a new Gaming rig and need a new CPU, Motherboard, ram , case. A i7( or AMD equalivant) 16gb ddr4.
I already own a 1000watt Psu modular and a Gtx 980

 

[TGMC]

I forget to add I have a $800 budget for the mobo CPU ram

Can you list your full current specs?
Why would you not want an upgrade instead?

 

[TGMC]

I currently have a 3rg gen I7 old case, it's a Asus Mobo

 

[TGMC]

And my Gtx 980

Stick with that i7, it's still top end and can run a 1080 Ti even with easily no bottleneck.
Is it a proprietary motherboard from an all in one or not?
Full specs of the system? I see no problem.
There's only been a 15-20% IPC increase from 3rd gen to current gen.

 

[TGMC]

It's not, I built this Rig years ago. I got the parts at tiger direct

 

[TGMC]

The problem is I already have another Gtx 980 coming in too sli them when I get the new mobo. In a couple of days.

 

[TGMC]

My current one only have 1 slot to fit a GPU

 

[Chugalug_]

It is, trust me here.
It doesn't bottleneck anything at all.
What are your specs?
Likely all you need is an upgrade to 16GB of RAM.
Given you're keeping the GPU, is there anything wrong with the system?
Is it the performance? What are you getting?

 

[TGMC]

The CPU is struggling with rendering and playing games. The Ram is doing alright I have 16GB but it's in the 90% to %100 in task manager alot

 

[TGMC]

I use the CPU and GPU both when I render

 

[TGMC]

Im actually out and about so I'll try my best to remember I have a Mid teir i 7, 16gb 1330, a mobo that has 4 ram slots max ram is 16 a Gtx 980

Ah righto, I can see why you're struggling, a higher core count would definitely help with your application.
The i7 will still perform better at 1080p vs Ryzen though.
I recommend a new system dedicated to rendering, no point leaving all that hardware lying around and crippling your gaming performance anyway.

Thanks! I've got a CPU cooler lying around so I can remove that. I noticed that I have still $140 left in my budget so I may upgrade that 1050 to a 1060 Ti, or just keep it as is?

What cooler do you have?
Save that cash for an 11 series GPU upgrade, go for that 1180 and a brand spanking new monitor!
To that degree you could then swap over to Ryzen for gaming and use your old i7 system for rendering, still holds up well.
