Looking to fuly replace an aging system that has an i7 3770k, 32GB RAM, 512GB 840 Pro SSD, 4TB HDD and a GTX 1070
I'll admit up front that it can still play what I play without much trouble, but it just feels time for an upgrade to me. I've been looking at it the past couple CPU generations releases.
Probably will hold out for 10nm whenever that comes around (hopefully thats only a year or little more away)
So just want some opinion on my proposal with currently available parts to plan accordingly at the time (or pull the trigger now)
Most of the games I play regularily are older and not extremely demanding and I only currently have a 1080p monitor.
That being said, I do like maxing most things out and do try all sorts of games I find interesting once they have a fire sale on Steam.
And I have a strong interest in VR so want this to handle that in the future too without major overhauling.
Other than games, I run Visual Studio on it for work, run a TV tuner and DVR on it, Video transcoding.
I'd like USB C on the front panel but that doesn't seem to have many options quite yet still.
Thunderbolt would be nice which seems to require an extra addon card
Current first draft of parts:

Thanks for any suggestions, comments, or opinions
