Time for upgrades.

[Yacovrex]

Current setup:

i7-5820k

GTX 1060ti

Gskill Ripjaws RAM

Gigabyte el generico unimpressive motherboard in the wrong color.

NZXT Kraken water cooler (single radiator)

EVGA 850 T2 power supply

 

What i need, looking for suggestions, my budget is whatever i can make in a reasonable amount of time.

i9-9900k or ks (need advice below about that) and want a rig built around it for multitasking along with insane performance for games (specifically cpu intensive ones like MC and csgo).

black and red theme purple ok.

 

feel free to ask anything to help. just looking for suggestions.

Hey,

I would go fr the Ryzen 3950x( beast of a processor). With an MSI unify or ace X570 to Overclock. And get a good cooler- NZXT kraken x72. Gen4 nvme ssd’s are super fast( see what’s available). For graphics if you want to save a little go for the 2080 super. Ram would be gskill trident a neo CL16 3600mhz.

great suggestions. i see the numbers comparing the 3950x to the i9 9900ks. how can i translate that into some practical performance differences. im nervous about switching and have historically had bad times with amd. (as an intel fanboy)...

also, any motherboard suggestions for dual Ethernet port motherboards?

The 3950X doesn't offer anything over a lower end cpu like the 3600/X for gaming. And assuming you are looking at 1440p/4K then even less so. 

 

The 9900K/KS would be faster at 1080p with a high end gpu like a 2080S/ti etc. Once you start moving up in resolution the gap will get smaller between the 9900K and any other current cpu like a Ryzen 3000 or 9700K etc.

 

If you want 8 cores then the 3700X would be a good option. 

 

What sort of budget do you have ? Also what monitor do you have or intend on using ?

im looking towards 1080p gaming (monitor being an asus vg278q 144hz monitor) and i need the single core performance more than multiple cores. i intend on using a 2080ti and maybe even 2 if i have the money for it. i have a budget around 1.5k but ill end up spending more like 2k

Probably best sticking with team blue then if single core performance is priority. If going with a 9900K then I would suggest one of the Gigabyte Z390 Aorus boards such as the Aorus Pro wifi. You will also need a beefy cooler like a Noctua D15/BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4 or a good 280mm/360mm AIO.

 

You going to reuse your current psu/ram ?

i was looking at the kraken water cooling system.

 

im going to maybe reuse my ram for a little while as im going to bite a significant bullet for the price of the parts. the gpu i have currently is a 1060ti (good gpu but i still need the upgrades) i plan on essentially keeping this thing constantly at peak clock speeds. do you think the closed water cooling loop will suffice to keep it at ok temperatures?

[Yacovrex]

also, i just checked out the motherboard, i currently have 2 Ethernet ports on the motherboard. one goes to my internet and the other to my NAS. Any ways i can get past this (old nas only has an ethernet port and nothing else besides 3 usb ports

The X62 Rev 2 or X72 should both be fine.

The Gigabyte Z390 Designare has dual LAN ports.

your actually a god.

 

 

also, do you think i should go for a dual or triple radiator setup on the water cooling. i dont have any experience with cooling and tbh i think thats part of the issue on why my current pc is shitting the bed

Probably not a huge amount of difference between the X62 and X72 in terms of performance. The X62 has a slightly thicker radiator than the X72 so that should keep them pretty close.

 

I would say choose a case first and see what the radiator support is like. Some cases will only fit a 360mm in the front for example.

 

Other option is an air cooler like the two I mentioned above. You want low profile ram though ideally as they will cover all the ram slots due to their size.

ok im going to keep all of that in mind. im going to do some research real quick and ill get back here to update
