Question Best 100buck asus motherboard for i9 9900k

[TMNB]

Hello
Kind of a noob when it comes to motherboards so I might need you'r help folks.
Im about to buy i9 9900k, and my old motherboard cant handle him.
im NOT going to overclock the CPU, I believe i9 9900k will do fine for my gaming(might overcloack the gpu though).
Budget: 100 bucks or less
Company: asus(all my life been with them, they gained my trust)
Got 1920*1080 144hz monitor, gtx 1060, 8 ram,ssd+hdd, 650W power supplier,
Just want a cheap motherboard to get the maximum value from this parts for gaming.

Any help will be highly appreciated
thnx

ps: do excuse me if a similar post was already posted, never found one

If you are sure, get a B365 MB.

As a side note, I'd recommend stepping down to an i7-9700k and save at least $120.

The i7-9700k and i9-9900k have the same base speeds, and the boost speeds are only 100Mhz higher in the i9.

An i9 9900k and a poverty spec motherboard is NOT a good idea by any measure.

may i ask for details? what would happen?

i know, but i buy it for a very long term, 10 year? like my i5 3570k. served me well for 8 years or so, so i want to buy the best right now

Total budget and country?
Any owned parts already?
Major usage is gaming? If so, 9900k is not worth it. Your GPU is much weaker than 9900k can handle.

so, if the gpu is weak, cpu going down with him?

You FPS is determined by min(CPU bound, GPU bound). If you have a 9900k with GT 710, FPS is hard to watch in 1080p.

hmm, so what cpu reccomanded for me to buy? i got i5 3570k right now

Cheap boards have basic voltage regulation and the 9900k is a power hog. It’s entirely possible you will have problems maintaining stock speeds for prolonged periods (gaming sessions) as the motherboard throttles the cpu to prevent the motherboard vrm’s from overheating. This would be another reason to look at a 9700(k). The 9900k is essential to use a high end cooler, nothing about running a 9900k is low end.

The 9900k will not help you with that. The boost speed is only 2% higher on the 9900k than the 9700k That's ONLY on the CPU. That means total system performance gain will be LESS than 2% for the 9900k over the 9700k, because the RAM, motherboard, etc., are unchanged.

The getting the 9900k instead of the 9700k will do ONLY one thing - it will leave you with less money. Unless bragging rights is an issue.

 

[vapour]

desirable gaming resolution and fps?
do you play mostly FPS games?
If so and want as many frames as possible, Intel I7-9700k is good enough. If you want higher resolution ~100 FPS, Ryzen 3600 + high end GPU is recommended.

That is why I am asking if you bought anything yet. If not, please state your budget and we can help you pick parts.

 

[TMNB]

hmm in conclusion, it seems perhaps i7 9700k is a better choice, ill consider it!
so if im buying the i7 9700k, what motherboard would you recommend?

Got 1920*1080 144hz monitor, gtx 1060, 8 ram,ssd+hdd, 650W power supplier,

Two questions:

• What is the exact brand and model of the Power Supply?
• What is your gaming goal? High details at 60fps (or 75, or whatever number)? Maximum FPS (144) to take advantage of your monitor's refresh rate?
• Does your monitor have FreeSync, GSync, or neither?

I don't know whether you have the 3GB or 6GB version of the GTX 1060, but that seems to be a mismatch with a high-refresh 1920x1080 monitor.

ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB ROG Strix OC Edition
monitor: Samsung C27FG73FQM 27'' LED VA 144(has FreeSync)

Power Supply :seasonic ss-650ht(pretty old)

my FPS goal are no less then 30 FPS, dont care if 40 50, but no less then 30 fps, obviusly at 144 refresh rate.

 

[King_V]

Ok, I can't quite find the specs on that monitor - ideally, knowing the FreeSync range, and if it has Low Framerate Compensation, will help.

That said, given your goals, the current video card will do fine, since Nvidia supports FreeSync with the 10-, 16-, and 20- series cards, and the 1060 6GB is generally good for averaging around 60fps at 1920x1080 in most modern games. FreeSync will cause the monitor to adjust its refresh rate to whatever the GPU is putting out at any given moment, so you'll have a smooth experience.

Seasonic does make good power supplies, but yeah, that is an older model and, while good for its time, probably not well-equipped to handle the way modern PCs utilize power.

I would go with a Seasonic FOCUS or PRIME model.

 

[jostegogar]

actually i have better option. get an 9600kf with a asus Prime Z390. and pair it with a 1660ti. and it will deliver you way better performance than 1060 with 9900k or 9700k.(it doesnt matter if you buy 9900k or 9700k a 1060 cant keep up with neither of them)

 

[Finstar]

The most minor thing would be the motherboards power delivery throttling the CPU speeds.
A power hungry cpu like the 9900k puts an insane load on the power delivery, which on cheap boards is not built to handle that. The VRMs would get very hot, degrading them fast and eventually killing the motherboard.
And you do know the i9 9900k also needs an $80+ aftermarket cooler?
