Approximate Purchase Date: As soon as reasonable, no real rush
Budget Range: Between $1400 and (if necessary) $2000 AUD
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming/Content creation, Video editing, MatLab, Solid Works
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: CPU, Motherboard, RAM, Power supply, Network Adapter, SSD, HDD, Case, Fans
Do you need to buy OS: No
Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, PLE, Austin Computers, Scorptec , Budget PC, MWave, Umart,. Not really picky as from what PCPart Picker is saying the prices vary a bit from site to site for each part.
Location: Townsvile, QLD, Australia
Parts Preferences: Curently thinking Ryzen (7 2700x) as opposed to the Intel (i7 9700k) just for the cost defence compared to the pretty slim difs in gaming performane (Especially since i'll be bottle necking it with a 1050Ti anyway, until i upgrade to a decent GPU sometime later).
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: Only current gaming demand for it will be fortnite and apex really. At some stage I am probably looking to be able to play more demanding games like bf1/5 when I get a better graphics card.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Current laptop can most definitley not handle modern gaming, video editing and uni programs.

Notes: The power supply right now is pretty overkill I think but I thought I may as well just get a decent one now for future upgrades.
Also i've heard that I should probably get a controller for the fans otherwise they'll just run at max speed and be loud, so any suggestions for that would be welcomed.
