1. Depends on the specific game 2. Just read the review here at Toms 3. Should be but requires a good cooler. It's indium soldered unlike the 8700K with it's cheap paste but the 8 cores also generate more heat than the 6 core 8700K.

Any B360 chipset board with the features you like.

I would get 16 GB. 8 GB is on the low side these days, more and more games already recommend 12 GB.

Ryzen 1300x by all means.

Did you try a fresh clean Windows install? Also depending on the games you play, they may be hindered a bit by the slow 2133MHz RAM speed.

MERGED QUESTION Question from encise : "1080ti + i7-8700k, +100fps but the game feels laggy"

Did you connect the 8pin CPU power cable to the motherboard?

I wouldn't say far ahead, but it is ahead. Read the review here and see the benchmarks https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-coffee-lake-i7-8700k-cpu,5252.html Edit: Read this instead as the other only compares to the older Ryzen 1st gen...

Most likely yes, but there is always a chance it wont work at all. There is a reason they sell RAM in kits, to ensure they will work together.

The 7700K IS a hot cpu. From my own experience and also from reading various posts here in the past, the following is what seems to be the normal for that CPU. 1. Idle temps should be around 10C above ambient temp. 2. Load temps should normally be around 60-70C in games and can go as high as...
