    Do you want to make your pc detonate with that power supply? A VS650 with a 9700k and a 2080S?

    Destroys is a strong word rn, it just has an advantage in most titles. Not all though, for example in cs go a 3700x is on par with a 9900k while a 3900x beats it by 30 fps

    Why the gen 4 ssd with an Intel platform which will bottleneck it? Also why are you buying Windows 10?

    Yes, definitely. It's one of the best specifically in the vrm section

    The site is trash, and bottleneck in itself is a trash word. It's true that the i5 7400 isn't quite up to standard now, but it's still not worth changing considering the market you're in. Furthermore, if you're not having any problems with the pc don't bother troubling yourself with this stuff, that processor is still enough

    The best experience I have had is the xbox one controller with a charging station. You can also just connect them with microusb cables. I use to use a wired PS4 controller, but they are a pain to get the button labels correct.

    Epimetheus reacted to Zando_ in Planning out PC to build   
    Is there all that much reason to wait for the 30xx series? They're likely still a bit out, Nvidia is still making Super cards (and I've seen rumors of a 2080 Ti Super?), doesn't seem like they'd bring out a new gen so soon after that. 

    Also are you sold on Intel? 9900K is a killer chip, but if you don't need quicksync and can stand to lose 5% performance or so, you can get basically the same experience for much less with AMD:

    That lets you fit a 2080 Super into the mix as well, which is the best biggboye card unless you have the obscene budget for a 2080 Ti. 
     
    And like @Epimetheus said, you can grab Windows 10 Pro keys off eBay for $7-14 on average.

    Sabrent is a pretty trusted brand, no need to worry. Also, the 3600 cooler isn't great, and that's definitely a better cooler. The 3600 doesn't come with the prism, it comes with the stealth, you know.

    Then you'll be fine. Check if you'd be better off with a 2070S or a 5700 XT, the 2070 is eol and inferior to these two in terms of performance

    It wouldn't be a bottleneck, but you should also consider a 5700 xt and then make your choice. What's the power supply model?

    Epimetheus got a reaction from Zando_ in What cpu should I get?   
    It's unlikely you're getting bottlenecked by the 8600k, they're pretty balanced out. For just gaming, you really don't need to go higher than an 8700k or a 9700k
  22. Agree
    Epimetheus got a reaction from Zando_ in What cpu should I get?   
    He already has an a 8600k so he's already got the motherboard, it would cost more to get a cpu and a motherboard that perform the same than to actually upgrade his cpu
