I'm looking to upgrade my cpu to a Ryzen 7 2700x and I'm wondering if ill have any compatibility issues with the rest of the system. I'd really prefer not to upgrade anything else.

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SSC Gaming ACX 3.0, 4GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) Graphics Card 04G-P4-6255-KR (I plan on getting a 1080 or 2080 next)

should be ok, though I'd update the bios to the latest version before swapping the cpu.

What CPU do you have now? Also, what kind of applications are you trying to increase performance in, games, or something else? Unless you need the added CPU performance now, it might be worth waiting to see what AMD's 7nm CPUs are like, as those should be coming next year, and will likely provide larger performance benefits over existing parts. My guess is that they should be coming sometime around spring, though that's only speculation based on AMD's prior Ryzen launches.

I have a ryzen 3 1300x right now. I got it intending to upgrade in a year or two. And it's alright but I do 4k video editing and 3d design and it tends to bottle neck around that. Gaming is also a consideration but I think my GPU is the bigger problem there.
I'm looking right now because I'm hoping to pick up the ryzen 7 for below market on black friday.

It's too bad the $150 sale on r7 1700s is over, that would be a good pickup in the mean time before zen 2 comes out. If you live near a microcenter, 1700X's are still going for cheap. If you need the cpu now then there's no way around it, but if AMD is to be believed then zen 2 is going to be a very significant upgrade from even the 2nd gen processors and it could be worth it to wait if you'd rather make a bigger jump in performance.

I guessing that you think the 2700x is overkill for my needs. On user benchmark I'm seeing the 2700x as 31% increase vs the 1700x at 17%. (Over the 1300x.) I am thinking of the future I intend to upgrade this pc with a part or two every year to keep it on top but the idea is to get the best proc right now and have it for a long time.
I dont really follow ryzens development is the next series supposed to be that much better?
