Thanks, I'll put in the list of stuff to get.

I am working on building a new computer my self. Which means it won't have a USB card reader USB 3.0, SD/Micro SD reader built in. I will have to buy a external one. Does any one have a recommendation on a good fast USB card reader USB 3.0 SD/Micro SD reader. Or is there a way to convert my old built in one on my old computer to a external one for my new computer? Thanks, Steve

because the 10th gen hadn't come out yet at the time.

I will think about selling my CPU. But I still don't understand why I have zero upgrade path?

What does CPU on a dead socket mean? Probably not. I bought it too long ago.

Budget (including currency): $1200.00 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: photo editing and video editing Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Hello , I am working on building my first computer. The computer I have now is old and slow and is not upgradable . I mostly us my computer for photo editing and video editing. I was wondering what yall think. The only think I am a bit confused on is ram. I decided to go with G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory. Because my mother board says it supports XMP 3200MHz. Although when I look to see if the mother board worked specifically in the Memory Support List for G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 I couldn’t find it. Parts list: Intel Core i7-9700K 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor (bought) be quiet!
