1tb is never enough space, i would opt for the 8700 if you arent planning on overclocking, and change the cooler to a hyper212 evo and with that saving 70$ (just a guesstimate) if you do those changes, you can get a 3tb hard drive, dont make the same mistake as me forgetting about plentiful space for games

The Meshify C comes with two stock fans. I don't think you need another.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Z370 Classified K has better OC support, and a better bios enviroment.

get arctic F12 PWM PST CO fans instead, they are better.

Heyy,

Sorry to bother you again but I was wondering why you chose the z390 extreme4 and not the z370 extreme4 where it is cheaper. I was also wondering if I should get this board instead, the z390 gaming x for $109

Z390 Extreme4 was the cheaper board 2 days ago.

 

Gaming X needs to be cheaper to be worth buying.

Z390 Extreme4, as the Z370 model is $160+. Even the EVGA Classified K is now $160. You just missed Black Friday deals.
