I have some questions and need your advice:
MSI Z370 GAMING PRO CARBON AC OR ASUS ROG Strix Z370-E Gaming ?
MSI 1080 ti gaming x trio OR ASUS 1080 ti strix ?
Toshiba OCZ RD400 Series Solid State Drive PCIe NVMe M.2 256GB with MLC Flash OR Samsung - 960 EVO 250GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ?
I'm planning to oc the cpu at some point. But I feel like Kraken x52 is overkill, and a bit expensive. what do you guys think?
I'll really appreciate any advice. Thank you guys in advance.
