Will it work? Yes.

Will it work perfectly? No.

 

This board is meant for lower end CPU's, up to i5 CPU's (not oveclocking). So in my mind that is not a level of board for an i7 9700K (just to address your title.. i7 9700K, right? As you have 'i9 9700K' in the title).

I would rather suggest a Z390 Aorus Elite (if you truly want to go Intel and not 3700X.. *cough*)

Hello there, I've been planning to upgrade to some new components. The components I want to get are the MSI Z390A PRO work perfectly fine alongside with an i7 9700k, 16-32 GB RAM 2666 MHZ and an RTX 2070-80? 

 

 

Thank ya for readin' mate. Have a great day!
