*PC SETUP HELP*

Hello Everyone,
 

I'm in the process of building a new PC for Cyberpunk 2077 and various games in the future and was planning on getting the new RTX 3080 (Thank God I waited for the announcement). I also came across the I9 10900k and became worried that it would be better than the I9 9900k. That alone, I got worried that my components wouldn't be right for my build. I have them still in the box and been grinding my ass to get the last one (a few extra parts as well, but not as expensive). If anyone can help me with my "UPCOMING BUILD" that would be amazing.

for games there should be no difference, chances are you should be able to get a decent oc and get within 1 or 2 percent in gaming performance. the nzxt doesnt have great airflow iirc but could be worse. also unless you specifically prefer the corsairs theyre very overpriced, you can get 32gb 3600c16 of trident z rgb for cheaper than that. how much did you spend on the 9900k + z390?

topics i need help on:

Spoiler

 

 

my "oops i bought intel right before zen 3 releases" build

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 (placeholder)

GPU: Gigabyte 980ti Xtreme (also placeholder), deshroud w/ generic 1200rpm 120mm fans x2, stock bios 130% power, no voltage offset: +70 core +400 mem 

Memory: 2x16gb GSkill Trident Z RGB 3600C16, 14-15-30-288@1.45v

Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming

Cooler: Noctua NH-D15S w/ white chromax bling
OS Drive: Samsung PM981 1tb (OEM 970 Evo)

Backup Storage: Seagate Barracuda Compute 4TB

PSU: Seasonic Prime Ultra Titanium 750W w/ black/white Cablemod extensions
Case: Fractal Design Meshify C Dark (to be replaced with a good case shortly)

basically everything was bought used off of reddit or here, only new component was the case. absolutely nutty deals for some of these parts, ill have to tally it all up once it's "done" :D

A 10700K is basically a new 9900K, while the 10900K is like a 10700K with two extra cores.

For gaming, I think a 10700K (or maybe even 10600K) makes the most sense in my opinion.

 

Something like this for example:

I kept the cooler, HDD, case and PSU the same.

 

CPU: the 10700K is a new 9900K. No reason to get a 10900K for gaming

Motherboard: one that fits with a 10700K :P

Memory: 2x16GB so you have room to upgrade

Storage (SSD): nice faster larger SSD

The I9 was $548.74, and the motherboard was around $300.

I think that you'd want to look for a Samsung brand NVME if you are looking for something reliable like the Samsung 970 EVO Plus, since Silicon power isn't exactly the greatest storage manufacturer.

I did get the mobo and AIO early January. I knew of should've waited for the price to drop on the I9, but of course, I couldn't be patient (lesson taught right there).
