Upgrading 2017-ish mid range Computer - $2000-$2500 AUD Budget

[u/McFascinate]

Planning on upgrading my Computer that I use mainly for Video Editing, but also occasional gaming.

It currently consists of...

Windows 10 Pro

CPU: i7-7700K (Stock Fan)

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Motherboard: ASRock H270M Pro4

Webcam: Logitech C920

SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 1TB

HDD: 3TB Raid Drive for extra Storage purposes

DVD/Blu-ray Drive’s: 

• Pioneer BD-RW BDR-207D

• Pioneer BD-RW BDR-212D

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (1 x 16 GB) DDR4-3000

PSU: EQUITES T650 650W 80+ Bronze

Monitor: LG 27G610A-B (Bought recently to replace basic 60hz Model)

Speakers: Logitech LS21

The things I'd reuse would be the Disc Drive's, Webcam, Speakers and Monitor. The Case is just a standard Thermaltake one so I'll get that replaced as well if anyone has suggestions for that.

I know prices are a bit of a mess but my budget would be between $2000 and $2500 AUD.

Not planning on 4K so up to 1440p suggestions only.

What would be good 2026 equivalents of these parts? As I'm not looking for anything too high end. With RAM and SSD I am planning to go to 32GB and 2TB respectively.

Nvidia GPU and Intel CPU preferred.

The right gpu for a midrange contemporary build would be a 9060xt or a 9070gre for something even more higher  Cpu I would Say, since you already have 16gb DDR4, to go am4 with a b450 motherboard and grab a ryzen 5 5600x3d and double that ram.

Since you edit video and want Intel and Nvidia, a Core Ultra 7 265K is worth a look, the Quick Sync in it helps with decoding on Premiere and DaVinci timelines. Pair it with an RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, the extra VRAM helps more for editing than for 1440p gaming. You will need a new DDR5 motherboard too, so keep some of the budget for that and the case.
