Roughly 2 years ago I built my pc and I used a msi Z370 PC PRO and an intel i3 8100. Now i want to upgrade to a i5 9600K but im not sure if it is supported. I think it is and my board would just need a bios update but im not 100%. Could anyone help with this?

Yes, it's compatible, as you can see here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z370-PC-PRO#support-cpu

Just update the BIOS and drop in the new CPU.

You can use pcpartpicker.com for compatibility

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
