Any suggestions of what kind of motherboard and cpu should I get?

[nick749]

I want to make my fist pc with a gtx 1080 ti graphic card. Any suggestions on what cpu or motherboard I should get. I don’t have a set budget but I’m thinking something around $1500. I want my pc to be able to run 4K. I’m planning on using this pc mainly for gaming. I’m not interested into water cooling.

Hi,

Here's a good 4K gaming PC build around your budget. If you planned on streaming your games then I would suggest a Ryzen 7 2700X, i7-8700K, or i9-9900K. The 9th-gen Intel will release next Friday on the 19th. So they aren't immediately available.

Hopefully your open to overclocking in which case i highly reccommend the i7-8700K with a Z-370 if youve got the budget for it. The 9600 is VERY new architecture and may be more costly that the 8700K...
