Around the same price as the Z390 Aorus Pro, I'd look at ASUS Z490-Plus TUF Gaming or the MSI Z490 MPG Gaming Edge

Nothing wrong with the 9600K, but you would have to pair it with a Z390 motherboard. The 9th-gen Intel CPUs use the LGA1151 socket while the Z490 boards use LGA1200 so they don't fit. ok so I found stuff i like for about the same price at the i7. here is the linkhttps://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=99627a52-1219-4c62-a940-8f1ecc7da768 Ik it probably gonna be a tight fit for the 220t so if you know any another nice looking cases for not too much that can fit everything then that would be nice. also if anything look weird plz tell me.

Everything there is compatible! Only thing I might mention is you may be able to find something more powerful than the 5700XT on the used market, but overall I'd say this is a solid build.

GamerMan said: Hello, I'd like to build my very first PC. The one I already have is a complete dinosaur, and I desperately need an upgrade. I'm under a tight budget, and therefore I'm trying to keep everything down to under $700. Of course, with this being my first PC, I have absolutely no clue what parts to use, so using the PC builder tool I managed to throw together whatever parts I thought were necessary and could meet my needs. Generally, I'm looking to play games like Minecraft and Terraria, as well as video editing programs like Filmora. Here's my list of parts:CPU: Intel - Core i3-9100F Coffee Lake 3.6GHz Quad-Core LGA 1151 Boxed ProcessorMotherboard: ASRock - H310CM-HDV/M.2 Intel LGA 1151 mATX MotherboardRAM: G.Skill - Aegis Series 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 PC4-24000 CL16 Single Channel Desktop Memory Module F4-3000C16S-8GISB - Black/RedCase: Corsair - Carbide 200R ATX Mid-Tower Computer Case - BlackPower Supply: PowerSpec - 430 Watt 80 Plus ATX Non-Modular Power SupplyGPU: MSI - GeForce GTX 1660 Ventus XS Overclocked Dual-Fan 6GB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 Graphics CardSSD: WD - Blue 500GB SSD 3D NAND SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5" Internal Solid State DriveCase Fans: Corsair - LL120 RGB Hydraulic Bearing 120mm Case FanI have all of the external hardware covered, it's the PC itself I'm worried about.Here's my question(s): Will this all go together? Am I missing anything important or recommended? Are the parts I chose, dare I say it, overkill? Please, tell me. With every second I use the scrap of metal I call a computer, I can feel my soul slowly breaking apart. And above all, thank you so much for taking the time to read all of this. It means a lot to me.
LandShark said: Hi, @LaxDude Welcome to the community. I'd recommend you make this decision based on your budget as both will be very strong performers for the workload you mentioned. If you choose the 5600X, you'll want to make sure that the motherboard you choose has updated BIOS for the new chip. With the release of the 5600X, you may see some deals or sale prices on the older 3700X processor. The 3700X does have more cores and threads than the 5600X, however, we have not seen benchmarks for the 5600X, so I couldn't make any recommendations because we don't know how it will perform just yet. Thank you

well said: hello, I've been saving up to build my first pc. My budget is $2000 but trying to keep it near $1500. I'm looking to play fps games like rainbow six, hell let loose, etc, as well as strategy games like company of heros 2, total war, mount & blade ii, etc. Ideally, I'd wanna play them at high resolution 60+fps but med resolution is fine as well. I just recreated the build from Nzxt bld with parts that was available here that's similar in spec and price so I think it's good, but I got no idea. Here's my list:CPU: Intel Core i7-10700 2.9GHz $319Motherboard: ASUS Z490 plus TUF Gaming $199RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB(2x8GB) $68Case: Nzxt H510 $69Power supply: EVGA super NOVA 750GT $134GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 2060 $339SSD: 2 WD Black SN750 500GB $69CPU cooling: Nzxt kraken M22 $84Monitor: ASUS 24" Full HD 165Hz $199Total $1558First off, am I overkilling anywhere? Second, I went with 2SSD instead of one 1TB SSD cuz it was cheaper. This won't affect anything right? Also, RTX 2060 seems to be sold out everywhere. Is it expected to be available anytime soon? Finally, about CPU cooling. The Nzxt bld only suggested water-based cooling. Is that better than fan? Also is it safe?Thank you in advance
Jaydiggs said: What's up guys? I'm new to the PC gaming world. I built my own rig in July and quickly realized I made mistakes lol.. It was a budget build, I spent about $629 on the build and the monitor. I'm thinking I should upgrade the monitor, CPU, and GPU? If I'm able to sell what I have I probably have about $200-$300 to add in. I currently play Fortnite, but would like to play games like Halo and Forza at the very least. With Cyber Monday and all these Black Friday deals, I'm thinking I need to jump on some deals. Here's what I have below.AMD 5 3400G (Probably should have gotten 2600 instead.. But someone recomended I buy this instead of getting a GPU since I'm on a budget.)Patriot DDR4 3000MHZ 4GB (2x4GB)Silicon 256GB SSD Deepcool Matrexx 50-Mid Tower (Not the best choice on case) Deepcool RF120 (3fans, mind you they didn't come with controller, so I can't change color) MSI Pro B450M Pro M2 Max (Wish I bought the MSI B450 Tomahawk Max instead...)EVGA 600W BR Power Supply (I probably should have gotten the 80plus gold even though it's more) I also bought a 32" LG FHD IPS Freesync 60hz Refresh (Wondering if I should try and sell it and buy and MSI 27" Freesync 144hz refresh rate).

So it looks like you're running the 3400G with just the integrated graphics. While the integrated graphics on the 3400G are actually pretty good (about equivalent to a GTX 750, good for lighter 1080p gaming) by far the biggest upgrade you could make would be adding in a dedicated GPU. The 3400G is perfectly serviceable as a gaming processor even if you're not using the integrated graphics. It's not the fastest out there but unless you're target super high refresh rate 1080p competitive gaming, it should be just fine. As for your monitor, that depends on what you want to do. Do you care about higher than 60 refresh rate? If so, I might look at a new one. Getting a system that can put out 144Hz is kind of pointless if your monitor can't actually display it.
Hey, I bought a prebuilt a couple years ago and am looking to upgrade some of my things. To run some of the games i wanna play, i need to upgrade my processor. I have an AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-core. What kind of processor would u recommend for me to get?
