Need some opinions on a potential incompatibility

[Reagan Reese]

Hello! This is a start to a build for a friend with a handful of extra parts from me. 

 

We are about ready to start putting these parts into a shopping cart, but i wanted to double check the potential issues / incompatibilities with you guys.

 

Thanks!

Well I'm sure you saw the warning with the motherboard. Z370 chipset motherboards may or may not have the correct BIOS to run 9000 series chips, and if it doesn't you need an 8000 series chip to start up the computer and update the BIOS with. So for that reason I'd stay away from a Z370 board. Also that PSU is garbage.

 

That said, what are you using the computer for, what country are you located in, and what's your budget?

pcpartpicker is meant to make sure everything is compatible. It has a filter that will take out parts if they don't work with the build you have planned on the list.

 

I'd say get a better cooler if you're overclocking and buy a better power supply.

Also get a z390 board.

Ok. Thanks for the input! What PSU would you recommend that is the same price or cheaper? 

 

Ill look for a Z390 Board. I hope they have one in this color, he LOVED the look of it!

I picked the MOBO mostly for it's OS software, look, and good rear IO. Looks like all Asus z390 mobos are pushing the budget. He only has about $800-900 to spend, including that silly monitor.

there are z390 tuf boards from Asus, though they're not very good overclockers from what I remember (I could be wrong so look into it). The msi mag z390 tomahawk looked like a pretty good board.

 

An evga g2 650 (don't get the g3, the g3 meh), corsair rm650x...

 

Anything in Tier A to Tier B is fine, at 650w.
