Hi All.

Things I don't want budge on

S340 Elite NZXT
M2 Drive (Primary OS so 128GB is fine)
Nvidia Gfx (have a gsync Mon)

Need everything except keyboard, mouse and monitor.

Primary use is gaming at 1440P.

Thanks!

Do you have other storage drives already?

Could go for a cheaper lesser quality M.2 like the Intel 600P.

650W not necessary but price is right on that one.

A cheaper case would get you a better cooler or a 1TB HDD if you need one.

Ryzen 5 CPUs coming out in a couple weeks if you're willing to wait and compare.

Thinking about it I already have wine can I transfer the license or is it tied to hardware?

If it's Windows 10 you can activate a digital license for it, and it should transfer to the new motherboard no problem. Other Windows versions may involve a call to Microsoft (and tell them you've replaced the motherboard). 10 would be best going into the future though, as new platforms won't be supported much longer with older versions.

It's Windows 10 yes, so no OS required. I have a NAS so no storage outside of game installs needed either
