[SOLVED] 9600K or 2700X?

[WildCard999]

So I've built a budget system with the intention of going with the 9600K as I just game however there's a little bit of buyer's remorse as for around the same budget I could of gotten then 2700X which is kind of overkill for my needs but may be a better choice in the long run.

I'm also helping a friend build a system for his kids for homework/studies and I could sell my CPU/Cooler/MB/PSU (I have a G3 650W on the way) & memory to him without losing much money. Would this be a good option to sell him those parts and get the 2700X? I'm gaming at 2560x1080/75hz so the 2700X should suffice (probably OC to 3.8 on stock cooler).

Yeah, it's the only board I've ever seen without it on the "EZ Mode" landing page.
Very strange.

Which G.Skill kit did you buy, out of curiosity?

That, exact kit? F4-3200C16D-16GVKB ?

Damn, one of the few kits that can be either Hynix or Samsung B-Die. With a BIOS update, and a 2nd Gen CPU though, I would've thought it would've been fine, even if it is Hynix.
Not that it necessarily means anything - as I could post at 3200MHz with DOCP enabled.... just had random instability.
