They did show me this bundle but they bought up some concerns about asus mb having quality issues of late and longevity of the board.

Hello all, I built my 3rd PC in 2015 and was due to upgrade right when covid hit and the market has been a bit crazy since then. My motherboard died recently and I need to upgrade now. I presently had an asus x99a mb, 16 gb ddr4 vengeance ram, 5820k cpu, asus strix 1070 and a seasonic x750 power supply. To get back up and running due to the mb issue I plan to update everything but the power supply and the graphic card. That will be my next pay check to address. I live in the US and have a rough budget of 1,000 dollars for the mb, cpu, ram and heat sink. I do love my noctua heatsink so I plan to stick with them. I stopped by my local micro center and the guy there recommended to me a intel 13700k, z790 tomahawk mb, 32 gig ddr5 gskill 6000 and a noctua nh d15 for all around 930 bucks. I mostly game on the PC, but nothing to major. Most eso online, cyberpunk, God of War and other stuff. I do some 3d modeling for my 3d printers but nothing to intense. Is the recomendations made a good option and price, any other suggestions people have? I usually try and aim for 5 year complete new build and want something that will still be good then.

Thank you for the link, looks like I'm refining my hd to reds probably. Any other suggestion based on proposed equipment choices ?

Hey everyone, I'm looking to build a little media storage device to sit on my entertainment center. My goal is to load the 200 or so old dvd's I have on it along with music so I can enjoy them in the living room and not have to rummage through boxes looking for what I want to watch, which isn't to often with Netflix, Hulu and Amazon now. I have put together a parts list and I am looking for any suggestions on what I have picked, such as better or cheaper component that will work or any obvious compatibility issues. Case Fractal Design Node 605 Power Supply SeaSonic X650 Motherboard Asus B150M-C/CSM Chip Set Intel I3 6100T Skylake Ram Corsair Vengence DDR4 2133 8 gig(2x4gig) Hard Drive WD Black 2 TB (4x for RAID setup) CPU Fan Noctua NH-L9i I opted for no graphics card at this time as the MB on board appears to be able to run 1080 fine. I am also looking for a slim line slot load optical drive to install (why I picked a smaller MB) Thanks in advance for the help
