Hi,
I haven't build a PC in ten years sooo looking to build a new one for gaming and audio recording.
Budget will be around $1500 (not including monitor).
At least from my research so far I've decided I want to go with the Intel i5 8600k or 9600k (theyre basically the same price)
I want this build to be RGB heavy (cooling, ram, case - eyeing up CM Masterbox MB530P, mobo) etc...
Would like to do a SSD and HDD - possibly.
Graphics card not sure if we should be going Vega 64, 1070, 1080, or 2070.
Wasn't sure on mobos 370/z390? (asus / msi) ... One with wifi. Looking at either Asus, MSI, Giga, or ASROCK.
Tossed this together real quick... Just wondering how I can possibly optimize this system while cutting costs but retaining aesthetics.
