alright, i need help

SkullWerido101 · April 10, 2020

So I'm building a new PC, and technically this will be my first that I have built completely by myself. I know motherboards aren't something you want to cheap out on, and need some suggestions. Looking at Intel Motherboards for an i9-9900k. Any suggestions? I do a lot of gaming, some high intensive some not. So something in between is good. I was looking at the MSI Z390 ACE.

thank you in advance!

My budget is a little flexible, but nothing more than $350 ish. I don't already have the 9900k, but it is what I am planning on getting.

I mainly game, some more intense than others. So something in the middle would be good.

Might I just suggest a ryzen and saving you a heap of money? A ryzen 3700(x). Will match the 9900k and they have really high end motherboards for 100$ or less. It's gonna save you a lot of money and give you a good few upgrade options if needed in the future.

Ryzen isn't a horrible option, I just prefer Intel as it is what I am use to and have more experience with.
