You not open to a Ryzen cpu?

As for Intel I would be looking at a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus board over Asus as you get a stronger VRM at any given price point. The value for money option is Ryzen though.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

Saves cash, just enable MCE - multicore enhancement yourself and should run 4.9 GHz all cores .

2080 super asking price is too steep for what it offers .


Ryzen , though @tamzzy will guide you have to get better 3600hx 32gb ram

Thanks for the replys back on this , think i am still going to get a 8 pack bundle , as the overclocking is done for me , as in all my 43 years i still never overclocked any off my PCs , so think best sumone who knows wat there doing does it right :)

@lee32uk yes i will look at the Gigabyte Z390 Aorus board bundle too , thanks a lot ...
@orbitalwalsh thanks so much for taking the time to do the basket lists , i will keep them in mind mate .
 
MCE and AMD PBO makes manual clocking pretty much obsolete, unless your looking to push ever hz out of the system and it running less volts

been known for gigabyte doing the best z390 boards after a shocking Z370 line up. Many vendors kept same VRM set up or slight upgrade... Gigabyte tripled everything .

you'll also see all their range features 12 phase count and only the master had slightly better components - bit of a marketing overkill. X570 still has higher count but there is more differences between each model's VRM level

To be honest I'm games, pretty much equal .
Maybe when games are better optimised for threads , it could make a slight difference, but 9700k is 8 core 8 thread CPU and it matches and beats it's older 8700k 6 core 12 Thread unit .

Depends on the games your playing. Worth having a look at bench marks of the two, but 9700k is the gamers CPU . Also runs cooler .

If you were to stream , then yeah 9900k.
