Yeah I just was looking at the combatible cpu's for my board and saw that. Thank you for answering my dumb question anyway!

Current PC Specs: GPU: RTX 2060 CPU: i7-6700k(this is the original) Mobo: MSI Arsenal gaming z270 ddr4 Ram: Corsair vengeance 16gb Howdy. I just tried to install my new i9-9900k, but when trying to boot up, the Mobo light would just blink and turn off again. So I think "okay, maybe I Removed...

Thank you guys for the advice and reminding of compatibility issues with Intel sockets lol. I think I have a solid idea of what I want to upgrade: I don't want to change my motherboard right now as I bought only a year ago, so I'm going with the Core i7-6700k. This is one of the higher...

Sorry I forgot to post more details. RAM: 16gb (2x8) PSU: Corsair CX750 750w Mobo: MSI Arsenal gaming Intel Kaby Lake z270 CPU: Core i5-7500 GPU: GTX 1060 3gb I play alot of Planetside 2, For Honor, Watch dogs, Risk of Rain 2, Titanfall 2, Destiny 2

So I used the PC-builds bottleneck calculator, and my current CPU is to weak for my GPU (13% bottleneck) https://pc-builds.com/calculator/Core_i5-7500/GeForce_GTX_1060_3GB/0KW0Vwlu/16/ And an i7-9700k would be too strong for my GPU. So I calculated for the core i7-6700k, and the bottleneck was...

MSI Arsenal Gaming Intel Kaby Lake Z270

My current mobo is already an LGA 1151 mtx, which I believe is the correct chipset for coffee lakes. So I'm thinking about getting the CPU first.

So I currently have a gigabyte GTX-1060 GPU and an Intel core i5-7500 cpu. I can run games at low-medium settings with about 60-90 fps, but I want to be able to run high settings with higher fps. Should I spring for a new i7-9700k? Or Upgrade the GPU instead?

Yes after posting this I realized that the aftermarket SATA cables that I had were the issue. I replaced them with the standard cables that the motherboard came with and everything formatted correctly. Thank you!

Hello. I am currently having an issue where my Solid state drives and Hard drives will not format at all. Everytime I try to format them, the Process takes a really long time (even with quick format on) and then it will eventually just give me the "Windows could not format the drive" error. I...

Hello Tom's Hardware community! I currently Have a Corsair Vengeance full tower case, and I'm planning to do an upgrade that will be around $1000. I also want to protect my case from falls and impacts, while giving it a rugged sort of industrial aesthetic. So i'm wondering If I could build a...
