I'm not planning to overclock it. I found some B360 motherboards; however, they state they're 8th Gen compatible, not including the 9. Would it be possible to update it without the use of a 8 gen CPU?

Ah, okay! I found this motherboard https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CMFZ51Z/?tag=pcpapi-20 and I'm guessing it's compatible since it's 8 gen compatible. As for the cooler, I already own a Corsair Hydro Series H100I V2.

Ah, I was getting the i5-9600k. But, it would still be similar to the 8600k, right? Would it be compatible with 8600k motherboards? Sorry if it sounds stupid, I'm new to Intel.

Hello! I'm currently in the proccess of getting an Intel Processor and motherboard to go with it but I'm having trouble choosing one. So far, I've been going for the I5-9600k. However, the i7-6700k seems cheaper at the moment. Which one would be better? (Mostly for gaming.) And I'll also need...

Thanks for responding! I have found out that Intel's i5 8600k is going for a cheaper price and has higher frame rate than AMD's Ryzen 2700x, however, the Ryzen uses low CPU. This just makes it difficult to choose. Will the Ryzen 2700x outperform Intel's i5 in the future? Also, I have an H100i...

Hello ya'll. It's been a long while since I've touched my computer. My current PC has a really outdated CPU (AM3+) with and AM3 motherboard and 8gb of DDR3 ram... I recently got myself a new GPU (GTX 1070) and haven't done anything to it yet. I have a budget of $500 to upgrade the CPU, the...

Yesterday, I put my pc to sleep to save some important work for the next day. This morning, I turned it on and I got a BSOD error that said something about "memory". Sadly, I didnt get time to take a snap of it or read it. Later on I turned it on and goes to automatic repair. I tried every...

In that case, I'll just need to backup files to my secondary HDD in case anything goes down. I don't know if i'll need to upgrade my DDR3 RAM to DDR3, it'll depend on what CPU i'll get with a new motherboard included. Either ways, I wouldn't want to replace my ram.

I have Windows 10. I have an extra HHD and a Flash drive with an installation of Windows 10.

Can I reactivate Windows 10? Or do I need to purchase another copy of Windows 10? I wouldn't mind buying it.

I have the installation disc. However, it's windows 8.1.

I stated 80~90 for the motherboard. Intel CPU can be any price.

My bad, my budget for the motherboard will be $80~90ish. As for OC, yes. (As long as its within the budget). As for the upcoming AMD Ryzen, not sure...

I'm switching from AMD to Intel due to my FX-8320 bottle-necking my GTX 1070. I have 0 experience with Intel and all I know is an Intel motherboard is needed. I need help choosing an Intel CPU since there are many. I'll need one that'll be great for CPU intensive games. I also need help choosing...
