So I feel like this build is too much money and it seems odd to me that a mobo is so much. I am dumb with all this stuff so please forgive me. If you can change some stuff up to make it cheap that would be greatly appreciated.  I want it to be cheaper but if it makes the system worse by a lot than don't do it. I am willing to pay some more for something that will help a lot more.

 

 

IDK why the mobo price doesn't show. It is 571 dollars

how much is the mobo, I dont see the price.

if you want a good motherboard suggestion, Gigabytes z390 lineup is really good.

So this is what I am getting but I think the motherboard is too expensive. It doesn't show but this motherboard is 571 dollars. I am not interested in overclocking simply because I don't know how to do it and I don't need any extra power than I already have.

 

 

 

Answer fast please because my GPU is like 150 dollars off sale and I need this build done by tonight

if you aren't overclocking then just get a locked i7 8700, cryorig M9i and a B360 board along with a 550w psu instead. also, get a dell S2417DG instead.

Just get a Z370 board with huge heatsinks on the VRM and chipset (like an EVGA mobo) and you should be set. Good luck, and happy building!

Should I just do this

press the arrow icon if you want to quote someone. the Z370 classified K is pretty good rn if you still want a z370 board for some reason.

IDK can you please make me one last build for me Herman. I want the 8700k and the extra power on my power supply because it is so much better for just a little bit less. And also I might want to OC in the future. Make me a build that you think would fit my needs. And btw I looked at the monitor you showed me I actually really like it and I might get it.

Actually great job man. As always you help someone out. Great job Herman. Really appreciate it, man. I will be building this exact build. Although I do not understand the M.2 SSD? what is that all about. I am sure I will have no trouble installing it just interested. Also I really like those speakers. Any way I can spend some more bucks on them and make them RGB or something

it's faster than the 860 evo for a couple bucks more.

Asus PRIME Z390-A

 

You might consider less expensive memory. I'd also suggest the H500 instead of the H500i. Finally a 650W psu is more than enough for the build. A the moment the Focus Plus Gold 750 is very well priced.

  • The motherboard M.2 slot #3 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s port is disabled. 

 

It said this, IS it an issue

It just means one sata port doesn't work if you're using that m.2 slot.

but couldn't this be an issue for the data that is being transferred in the sata port. Or is it just saying that one of these sata ports will be used by the SSD

You have 5 sata ports left with only one needed for the hdd, it's not gonna matter.

The EVGA Z370 Classified K does not have any RGB lighting. It is a good motherboard.
