[SOLVED] How is this for a new build?

[ScottR]

Looking at building a new pc and the items below are what I am looking at. Everything below is about $1300. I have room to go up to 1500. I just wanted to make sure everything is compatable as well. I primarily play pc games and surf the web. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

No SSD?

I wouldn't go with 9th gen Intel when 10th gen is out. Also you picked a 10th gen board but a 9th gen CPU so it actually wouldn't work.

For around $1300 I'd get this. It has a much better GPU and would handle multitasking much better over the 9700K, plus with the savings on the CPU you can get more memory.

If that motherboard is too difficult to find then I'd get this B550.
