Diabolous

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. Now let me clarify some things. I cannot overclock my i7 8700k higher than 4.7ghz, even 4.8ghz is not stable, I tried and tested it many times and cannot go higher than 4.7ghz. On top of that, the 8700k at 4.7ghz is already bottlenecking the overclocked 2080 Ti. I cannot delid the CPU because already have a different owner and that person is fine with 4.7Ghz (he does not care about OC), btw my old system is already sold (but not my PSU). Apart from gaming, I process, edit and export 4K videos every day, a better CPU than the 8700k would really help me too. I do more daily work on my PC than what I listed here but is not relevant to the hardware because is Database programming work. It may be, in the near future, that I will need to process some 3D work with After Effects and/or Autodesk 3ds Max. For gaming, I do play in 4K, but I also record playthroughs, benchmarks, performace reviews, etc. for a youtube channel. So having the RTX 3090 will ensure max performance on the GPU side. The 3080 20Gb that may be released in December looks like a good option but is listed as the same amount of CUDA cores as the 3080 10Gb, I bet it will not beat the 3090. EDIT: The RTX 3090 will arrive in 10 days, so still, need a good combination of: CPU Motherboard RAM (non RGB) Motherboard must be solid for overclocking CPU.

Hello, I am planning to upgrade to a RTX 3090 card, but my old system (i7 8700k etc.) will certainly bottleneck the new GPU and will impact performance. At the moment, I am planning to go for an Intel 10th gen i7 or i9 (10700k, 10850k or 10900k). I mainly game with my system, I also work and edit/process videos etc, but most important for me is gaming performance. And what is up with the 10850k? it is also a 10 core CPU, same speed and power consumption as the 10900k so no idea what the difference is, but is cheaper. I saw the new Ryzen CPU series numbers but speed per cores are lower than the i7 or i9?, and I don't trust much the AMD's performance chart, and it will be more expensive than intel (confirmed by AMD). So, what is the best motherboard and good speed RAM to pair for a 10th gen intel + RTX 3090, also I may need a new PSU? Currently, I have the EVGA SuperNova G2 850W, would it be enough for the system? I have a Samsung 970 EVO 1TB, Samsung 860 EVO 2TB and a Samsung 850 EVO 500GB installed. For Case and CPU cooler you can check my previous post HERE or to make long story short... Case:P500A and CPU cooler: NH-D15 chromax.black. Wondering if 850W will manage the system well. Thank you in advance. EDIT:

Alright, finally found and ordered the P500A black DRGB, ordered from Germany (Casekings). And for CPU cooler, this time I will ditch the AIO setups and go with air cooling for change, I will rest a bit from pump noises, so I ordered the NH-D15 chromax.black. Thanks for the all the recommendations guys, really awesome stuff. Cheers.

Nice cases, I love the P500A, I like the RBG setup, I like the vertical GPU configuration, unfortunately is not available to buy in Europe? Where can I get this case? P400A is missing the vertical GPU option and I read that the NH-D15 doesn't fit in the P400A Meshify C looks good option too but is missing the vertical GPU configuration. I like it has a filter behind the mesh to stop more dust. PURE BASE 500DX looks very good, missing vertical GPU too but the case setup looks so nice. The NH-D15 chromax.black looks sick, love it, so probably will get this one. EDIT: The DARK ROCK PRO 4 looks good too. Alright, about the CPU cooling, those towers are huge and makes it difficult to install new Ram etc. What is the advantage of the NH-D15 against lets say, a Kraken X63/X62 ?

Hello, I need some advice to get a new Case and a new CPU cooler. Currently I have a old CM HAF 932 case and is time to get a better and new case. I would like something with good cable management, silent if possible, and of course, with good airflow. Also I want to change my CPU cooler, right now I am using a Corsair h105, it works fine but I am not very happy with the performance, it can be very noisy and the thing I don't like of this cooler is that I cannot change the fan speeds with software, I have to change them in BIOS and to be honest, I am not happy with the settings, or it is too loud, or it is too hot. I prefer to have a new cooler that I can control better and have better performance. Here are my specs: CPU: i7-8700k 4.4 Ghz MB: Gigabyte Z370P D3 RAM: Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX 2x8GB 3000 C15 (16GB) GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 2080Ti FTW3 11GB SSDs: Samsung 970 EVO 1TB and 860 EVO 2TB Thank you in advance.
