    Glad that we could help you. Have fun!

    As people before me have said, yes, a Micro ATX motherboard will fit in an ATX case. However, as for if an ASRock B360M-HDV will fit into a Dell Precision T5400, I can't answer that, as the motherboard may a custom form factor that doesn't quite work with ATX and Micro ATX motherboards.

    Woah, hello there, everyone.

    Yes, unless the system doesn't work properly, you don't need to update the BIOS. The extra 4MB of L3 cache won't provide a massive performance increase in, well, about anything.

    Minus clock speeds, the Ryzen 3 1200 and Ryzen 3 1300X are the exact same CPU. In theory, with the same voltage and clock speed, they should have the same level of stability and temperatures.

    Yeah, just get a 1080 Ti. New, you can find one for around 650 USD. Used, you can find one for around 550 USD. Stick with that 1080 Ti for a while, and then when you feel comfortable, upgrade to a newer and more powerful GPU.

    Thank you for responding respectfully. As for what 1080 TI I would recommend, I don't have a preference. Just get the cheapest one, unless you want to get into intense overclocking and/or are paranoid about temperatures. As for the rest, you provided pretty good explanations for why you chose them. And trust me, I've seen worse part lists from experienced builders, haha. Glad I could provide feedback.

    If you feel that you could use that money for something more important, do that. If not, go with the X370 motherboard.
  10. m0n4rchy
    Welcome to the LTT forum! You said you will never use SLI. In that case, go with B450. However, I must ask: how much more is the X370 motherboard? If a lot, B450. If not, X370.

    Welcome to the LTT forum! Why are you buying a 7600K in 2018, and pairing it with a non-overclocking friendly motherboard? Here, try this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/D4LByX
  12. m0n4rchy
    As far as I am aware, no, nobody has benchmarked the 2080 Ti in an eGPU situation.

    $3800 USD? That's an awful lot of money to have lying around for a gaming PC, especially one that can handle 1080P at 144 FPS at the highest settings. But, I tried my best. CPU: i7-8700K. The 8086K is just an ever so slightly faster 8700K. Even at this price point, it would be a waste of money, especially if you're considering overclocking. CPU Cooler: Since you chose an air cooler, I won't challenge you on that. I, however, would get the NH-D15, with your budget. Motherboard: Any nice Z370 motherboard will do. Memory: RAM speeds and latency aren't super important with Intel. I would recommend a 2 x 8, 3200MHz, DDR4 memory kit. Any latency, brand, or extra features is fine. HDD: ...unless you need a lot of storage, we don't need to add one. SSD: Here's a luxury that you can afford: a 1, or even 2, TB M.2 drive. GPU: Money is not a concern for you, so get a 2080 TI. Case: Any case works. Just make sure all the parts fit, and that it looks good enough to you. PSU: Something that is at least 550W, 80+ Silver, and fully modular. If you wanted to go all out, without going insane, go for a 850W, 80+ Gold, fully modular PSU.
  14. m0n4rchy
    Oh, alright. In that case, yes, just get a H310 motherboard, and enjoy your i3-8100. Glad that I could help!
  15. m0n4rchy
    Yeah, please don't combine, say, an H310 motherboard and an 8700K. They're compatible, its just a ridiculous combination. At that point, it would be a better idea to get an 8600K and Z370 motherboard, for example.
  16. m0n4rchy
    To clarify, yes, higher memory speeds are definitely better for Ryzen (at least up to 3200 MHz). Past 3200 MHz, however, you start to get diminishing returns, and at that point, you're better off reducing the latency.
  17. m0n4rchy
    I assume you mean Coffee Lake/8th Generation Intel processors. In that case, the cheapest chipset, on average, is H310. Hope this helps!

    Alright, you have $1000 to spend on the CPU, motherboard, and RAM. What are you using this build for? If for gaming, what resolution, settings, and framerate? Do you have any interest in overclocking, and are you sure you're sticking with that GPU?
  20. m0n4rchy
    Yeah, 1440P tolerates an i5, no problem. Framerates are not exactly the same on average at 1440P between the 8400 and 8700, but yes, they are fairly similar. I think the main reason he added the 8700K and accompanying parts was to justify that $2000 budget. P.S, what is your maximum budget?
  21. m0n4rchy
    Technically belongs in Build Logs, but still a fine-looking rig. Have fun!
  22. m0n4rchy
    $1000 budget, eh? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QxRbV6
  23. m0n4rchy
    The i5-8400 will work totally fine with that motherboard. It's a decent pairing.
  24. m0n4rchy
    As the people before me said, just get a 1200. Even when not OC'd, it's not a whole lot slower than other Ryzen 3's. IMO, no, the 1300X is not better than the 2200G. For less money, you're getting around the same clockspeed, the same CPU cooler, and integrated graphics. Those memory speeds mean what is shown to be best supported. With a slightly updated process came better memory support. The 2200G will work great with that motherboard. Most motherboards ordered from digital retailers already have their BIOSes updated to a point where they support them. If not, you can request a CPU to update the BIOS. Depends on how tight your budget is. Nothing wrong with an aftermarket cooler, but you said "mild OCing." If you meant to <4.0 GHz, then stick with stock cooler. Oh, a 970? Yeah, just stick with the 1200.
  25. m0n4rchy
    If you're getting a 240mm liquid cooler, you should just get an 1800X, which will perform almost identically. They're not always in stock, but I've seen them on Newegg for $250. If you only plan to run a single GPU, you don't need a 750W PSU. I would still advise going with a fully-modular, 80+ Silver or better, 500W or more PSU. The 3200MHz version of that Flare X memory kit is about $13 more. You can pick up a 24", 1ms response time, 144Hz 1080P monitor for <$200. Did you choose that motherboard for being the most expensive B450 motherboard? Go with the cheapest B350/B450 motherboard that has all of the features that you need/want. That case seems overpriced... It might seem like I hate your list, but I just think that you could save some money in some spots. Overall, it's actually pretty good. P.S, go with the 1080 Ti, if you're buying soon. They're not quite as efficient as 2080's, but they're still great. But if you're buying in a while, depending on the used and new markets, it might be better to go with a 2080. Even then, though, 1080 Ti's will probably be cheaper.
