Recommended Motherboard/CPU bundle

WLSKAWS

Good afternoon. Currently running an Intel i5-7500. Looking to upgrade and would like recommendations on MB/CPU bundles that are not too expensive. I was looking at the Intel Core i9-9900K, Gigabyte B365 HD3, CPU / Motherboard Bundle. Thoughts? Thank you.

Hello, @WLSKAWS

What kind of budget did you have in mind for this bundle?

What are you looking to do with this CPU and motherboard?

I'd be happy to offer a recommendation with just a bit more info!

WLSKAWS

Around $400. This is a gaming computer.

Just looking to upgrade overall performance.

Thank you.

While the CPU and motherboard combo would work well together, you wouldn't be able to overclock the CPU while using a B series motherboard.

I'd recommend these two for an AMD combo.

This is my recommendation for an Intel combo.
