Question ASUS TUF Z390-Pro Gaming with an i7 9700k

[LiveTrash]

The usual is coming at me from some people "Uhh, why did you get that mobo? Why not this or that"

I'm not the most experienced builder when it comes to picking the best parts to pair together. I wanted the i7 9700k, no problem there, and the guy at the computer store picked out a ASUS TUF Z390-Pro Gaming, saying it will work fine with it.

I just want some general reassurance from the more experienced of you out there that it's going to allow the 9700k to release its full potential. Just wanna make sure the PC store guy made a good pick. I'm not looking to overclock, hence why I got the 9700k. I'm more of a stock kind of guy, only running air cooling. Not interested in the built-in bluetooth or wifi or fancy RGB, so I figured this mobo will serve me well.

Thanks in advance!

The 9700K is the unlocked processor, so I'd expect you to get the 9700K if you DID want to overclock!

If you're not interesting in all the special features, the Z390 TUF will be perfectly suitable.

The Z390 TUF is alright, perhaps not the best if you want to overclock, would had gone even with a Extreme 4, but if you don't you will be fine.

My bad, I sort of meant extreme overclocking, beyond what is more or less done through the software.

Anyway, thanks for the input. I'll hopefully have time this weekend to put the rig together!
