Hi Guys

Looking for advice on a new Intel PC build and recommendations from the experts. I am not a gamer just a Graphics user Photoshop, Drone user 4k, Adobe apps, but if I can can combine both Graphics and gaming I have no problem but Graphics is my main use. Its not my full time job but a hobby so a good solid future upgrade path would help. Budget is flexible but around $1500-2000 but looking for the best bang for my money, I dont mind shopping around for the best prices once I know what parts are required. I have built 2 PCs in the past using Asus P6T with intel CPU 960 i7 ..(still using it ..works great but its 6 years old and parts are rare so nows the time to upgrade)

1) Intel CPU with heat sink if required (OC?) - 1151 or 2011-3 ? so many choices in the i7 range 7700K or 6850K or other?
2) Mobo , would like a really flexible Ram up-gradable mobo with sound and on board graphics to acces the CPU core power, have a older PCIe 2gb graphics card which I can use if compatible?
3) Case ( i am using the Corsair 760T full tower presently and it is great so I would get another one if poss)
4) Ram
? other parts forgot to include.

PC PARTS NOT NEEDED -ALREADY HAVE
5) Storage SSD m.2 /HDD already have
6) monitor -already have
7) PSU - already have

Thanks to all that chip in.

This is super confusing. You're not gaming, but you might game? You want the "best bang for my money" but you want Intel, and are considering the 7700k, although you're not gaming? You need "on board graphics to acces the CPU core power"? You already have a 760T, so you want another 760T?

What are your current specs? Case, make and model of PSU, what storage do you have, what GPU are you using, and what monitor will you use with this system?
Will you overclock?
Do you already have a 760T, if so, why do you want another one? Just re-use your current 760T?
What exactly will you use the system for? What games will you play, if any?
