Ok so my current PC is about 10 years old with a couple of upgrades along the way and consists of:
Asus Maximus Formula mobo(the original one!)
Core 2 Extreme QX9770 PSU
Inno3D GTX 560ti GPU
4gb OCZ Platinum memory
Antec P182 SE Case
Antec NEO HE 650w PSU
1 Intel SSD and some HDD.
Money is tight but I'm really wanting to upgrade sooner rather than later so...
I know I need to replace the main guts Mobo/CPU/Memory and I can reuse the drives for the time being but will my Case take a Z390 mobo? It's an ATX case but i'm just wonering if I/O shields or anything else are any different etc. The case fans are noisy so maybe to make it quieter I can get newer versions for it.
Would this old PSU be good enough to power these new components? Would it even work with a Z390? It has a 24-pin main power connector (that is adaptable to 20-pin for legacy motherboards), an ATX12V connector, an EPS12V connector, and a 6+2 PCIe power connector?
My build shopping list at the moment looks something like this:
Intel i5 9600k processor
Be Quiet! Shadow Rock Slim CPU Cooler
Z390 motherboard (struggling to decide on this one!)
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 3000 MHz
Then if the answers to my questions above are bad:
Be Quiet! 601 Case
Be Quiet! Straight Power 11 650W ATX
I'm holding out for a new GPU when I have some more £'s so with a Z390 motherboard and an i5 9600k would I be better off using onboard graphics for now or would the GTX 560ti be worth putting in there?
I'll do my best to stretch to a RTX 2060 as a minimum when I can.
All comments and suggestions greatfully received, cheers.
