My last rig was the 3770k and I built it with all the good stuff back in 2012. Still runs great, but I'm itching to building something new.
I'm looking for guidance on building a solid rig, but without destroying my budget. Would appreciate advice on a few points.
I feel very confident that I can build everything, but I'm unsure about a few areas.
I know I want the 9900k, but I'm not sure about the motherboard. There are so many good ones now. I'm not sure what the cheapest and most efficient cooling method would be. I want some decent ram. Not sure if anyone has a preference. I need a quiet case that gets great cooling. I usually go with ANTEC, but that was 2012 when I built my last rig. Is ANTEC still one of the best ways to go, or is there a much better option?
I have the power supply @750w. I assume that's ok? Thoughts.....
9900k processor.
Hardrives will be one of those M.2's. Probably 1 or 2 terabytes. Along with some secondary drives.
Video Card will be the 1080ti 11gig.
Everything else is kind of up in the air for the moment. I went to AMAZON to pre-order my 9900k and realized I have no idea what motherboard to get. That's one of the most concerning things I suppose.
Anyway, hopefully, you guys see where I'm going with this. Would love some feedback, as this is my Christmas present to me hahaha.
And while we're at it.....a great 24 inch or better 4k gaming monitor? Thoughts....
