Question Are my components good and are they compatible?

Corsair CC-9011117-WW Carbide Series SPEC-04 Tempered Glass Mid

MSI MPG Z390 GAMING EDGE AC Motherboard


Corsair iCUE H100i PRO XT RGB Liquid CPU Cooler


Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 3200 MHz


Intel Core i7 9700K 3.6GHz Octa Core LGA1151 CPU

MSI NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1660 SUPER GAMING X Graphics Card

Did you buy any of these components yet? And what is this for, gaming? If so, what is the resolution and refresh rate of your monitor?

For gaming, I would shift a good chunk of the budget away from the CPU and expensive AIO cooler, and spend it on better graphics hardware instead, as that's bound to make significantly more of a difference to performance in most games.

I haven’t bought them yet , also I haven’t bought the monitor yet , are these compatible though

Your parts are compatible and good.
My thoughts:

A balanced gamer will budget about 2x the cost of the processor for the graphics card.
You are about 1:1

I would consider a $180 i5-10400 @180 and a $ RTX2070 super class card.
You would not need liquid cooling, the included cooler is sufficient, and a $75 lga1200 motherboard will suffice.

No offense intended, Sir, but...


I don't place much stock in these vague CPU to GPU cost ratio 'generalizations'...; IMO, they are about as useful as today's desire/need to fix 'high CPU usage' issues with 4t and 6t Intel CPUs. (Although certainly it is harder to go wrong with spending MORE or adequately on the GPU; if that is the goal, great.)

There are many good GPUs for $250-$300, and, as many good CPUs cost about as much. I'd never advise choosing a $120 CPU just because one happened to choose a $250 GPU, and, there is nothing wrong with having a bit more CPU than needed in gaming... (if anything, it allows one to upgrade the GPU in 2 years time and then not be wishing one had gotten a better CPU a couple years earlier) Conversely, if I'd chose a $300-$350 CPU, I'd never say that means one should now should spend $600-$700 on a GPU, as not everyone plays above 1080P and/or 'must have' 144 Hz refresh or above...
(Certainly, I suspect not every 9900K/10900K owner owns a 2080 Super or above)

I would second that.
The CPU doesnt matter much when you have a mid range GPU, only at 2080 levels you start to gain more performance with a better CPU.
If you get a non K CPU, the H470 M Pro4 has BFB tech that actually boosts your CPU clock even with out the K CPUs.
