I currently have an FX-8320 and a GTX 980. I'm looking to build a new system minus SSDs, HDDs and a GPU.

 

Currently looking at:

 

RAM: Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) DR x8 DIMM 288-Pin - CT2K8G4DFD824A

Link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B019FRD5O6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1

 

PSU: EVGA 750 GQ, 80+ GOLD 750W

Link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B017RO39TK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1

 

Cooler: Corsair CW-9060024-WW Hydro Series H80i V2 120 mm

Link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B019954Y2Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1

 

CPU: i5-8600K

Link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0759FKH8K/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=AFXON1SGSPLH4&psc=1

 

Case: Corsair CC-9011052-WW Carbide Series SPEC-03

Link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00J63LFTW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1

 

I'm not sure what motherboard to purchase. I don't really want to spend more than £150 or so and would apprecaite recomendations and possible changes to other parts. Thanks!

Drop the water cooler and get an H7 or beQuiet Dark Rock 3. They'll out perform the single rad cooler and be quieter.

For motherboard:

He would drop it if he doesn't want to overclock.

 

 

@AontaighB, are you even gonna overclock?

The SLI Plus costs £120 IIRC

 

So the ASRock - Z370 Extreme4 would be the best choice?

The beQuiet Dark Rock 3 will beat out a 120mm AIO any day. Most air coolers will beat them out.

AIO only make sense in the 280mm and up range, maybe the 240mm range depending on the quality.

If you wanna overclock, you should probably get a 240mm rad liquid cooler. I recommend the Corsair H100i v2, but you're gonna have to change out the fans, because they're pretty frikin loud.

I would go with an ASUS ROG Strix motherboard.

Sure, recommend the objectively worse board...

Yeah. Personally, I would change the AiO. The Dark Rock Pro 3 performs about the same as a 240mm AiO, and costs £50 the last time I checked.
