i9-990K

ROG Maximus XI Hero

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

PCPartPicker Part List
Type Item Price

Motherboard Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard $189.99 @ Best Buy

Assuming you meant 350-400 USD.

You could also get a good B450 board or wait for B550 which released mid-June, and save some money on the board.

The 8700K yes but it's over 2 years old at this point and it's hard to find and/or overpriced, and the 2700X makes 0 sense for gaming especially since Ryzen 3000 launched.

It depends. Do you need it for gaming or for development.

 

It even depends which games you're playing.

But I think the i5-9600 would fit very well.

For the Motherboard you just need to find one with the right socket and right chipset.

I know, I know, this tools aren't always perfect, but I think in this case it makes sense.

The i9-9900K seems overkill for an 1070. There is no i9-990K o.O

Mainly gaming would you say that this would be a substantial upgrade on the i5 7400
