Thanks for all your input! Thanks for the clarification on OCing, I'll have to upgrade the mobo to a Z390 later down the road if I need it. I don't have much of a choice for this build, because I am dead set on a compact Mini-ITX build (Thermaltake Core V1 ), which limits the motherboard options and the cpu cooler size. Looks like I could fit up to a dual fan 140mm AIO. What might you recommend? Would this be decent? (CoolerMaster Dual 120mm ) or is that Enermax ELC-LMR240-BS better? I went with the 9900k over the 9700k because of hyperthreading. I need as much performance as possible out of the CPU for heavier-loaded video editing. The more cores/threads, the better. The only other CPU I would want to put in would be the 8086k if I wanted/needed to go a bit cheaper. And I picked the 2070 over the 2060 because, A) It's likely not going in the build right away, so I have time to save up some extra money, and B) It has more vRAM than the 2060 for rendering frames faster, and the Ray-Tracing for better rendering out the 3D effects. So, unless the ray tracing is a joke for video editing, in which case I'd go with a Updated Parts List: Thermaltake Core V1 Mini-ITX Case Intel Core i9 9900k Asus ROG Strix B360-I CoolerMaster MasterLiquid LC240E / Enermax ELC-LMR240-BS Pioneer M.2 256GB SSD Ballistix Sport LT 8GB DDR4 3000 (*Will add a second stick later) Thermaltake Smart 700W 80+ White PSU *Adding later* Asus/Zotac/MSI RTX 2070 Blower Edition *I also already own brand new case fans, 1x 80mm and 1x 120mm, and case includes 1x 200mm

I am going to build my first computer! (Yay!) I feel confident in my ability (because of watching Linus, of course!), I'm just curious if it would be possible to overclock the 9900k with the Asus ROG Strix B360-i, or would I need a Z370/Z390? it's not a deal breaker, but am just curious. Just trying to get the best performance out of the lowest cost possible.

Please don't judge my choice of components, that's not what this thread was for. I just want to triple make sure I have all the parts I need and am wondering about the overclock-ability of the 9900k and b360-i combo.
