hi ive got an RTX 2080ti coming soon I don't wanna put it in my PC until I know its safe to do so. so yeah my question is will it be okay in my motherboard from my little skim around my motherboards specs and the 2080ti specs it should be fine, but its always best to check with smarter people on here.

so my other little question is power supplies. according to nvidias website the GPU requires a minimum of 650w, i have a corsair cx 750 gold will that be enough to power it or should i go for the one listed in the thread title and if so is it compatible with the motherboard.

I think that is just a mistake on their part for selling multiple boards with the same page.

You can clearly see in the first image the Z270H which is what you have selected, and it does have 8 USB ports on the back.

To me I don't really see an issue with getting any Z270 board. You can always get a USB hub for your less important devices. Might even make it more convenient for plugging things in.

I don't believe there is such a thing as a CX 750 gold, pretty sure the entire CX line is bronze.

Technically, yes, that PSU is enough to power a 2080Ti and a B250 board can support any PCIe device.

Certainly not ideal, you have the most powerful graphics card in a relatively budget motherboard. If you don't have at least an i7-7700 the GPU will not be able to run to its full potential.

Yes, it will work safely, but some upgrades would be a benefit.
Also, what CPU cooler do you have?

I would upgrade the board to a z270 to OC the CPU. This will help it in newer games.
Also, id upgrades to an 80+ gold 650 or 750w unit.'

The main issue is 200 series boards arent easily found new anymore. Yoy may have to look at open box or refurbished units.

Heres one with 7 USB type A and 1 USB type C port.
Has a okenough VRM to slightly overclock the 7700k aswell.

yeah see I need my 6 usb ports for all my flight sim stuff, any less than that and im losing out on important stuff I use for playing. so what exactly am I looking for when it comes to a new motherboard. my budget is about £150 so if that helps you can find something a bit pricier for me. I feel really horrible wasting your time like this

is this one okay. the pictures are really confusing though amazon seem to have just put 2 different motherboard pics in the same product but it think the one i linked is the one with 8 USB's and its a Z270 chipset like you've been sending me https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-STRIX...prefix=lga+1151+7th,computers,130&sr=8-4&th=1
