Hey
i want to buy a new processor and got stuck between these two choices, i have the i9 10850k and i7 10700k in mind, the i9 costs 130 dollars more and i just dont know if it is worth it.
If i buy the i7 i could use that extra 130 to save up for when the 3080's are back in stock or i could just buy the i9.
So my question is, is the i9 worth spending 130 dollars more than the i7( i only use my pc for gaming really).
Thanks in advance :)

Hey buddy there are so many physical drives, and as a whole only 5TB waisting energy, space and resources
Check this with some modification but 5TB as a whole and i9;

Your build will work as is.
I have a few thoughts:
Paying more for an aio cooler than you do for the processor seems silly to me. OK only if you own the Kraken X62 already.

A good air cooler like the noctua NH-D15s would cool just as well and cost 1/3 the price. It comes in black also.

Love the lian li quality.
Problem is that the PC-O11 cases do not have sufficient headroom for any decent air cooler. 155mm.
Unless you are wedded to the PC-O11, I might suggest the lancool II mesh for better cooling.

It costs less in black.

I might think the PM961 ssd is there because you already own it.
Otherwise, buy a single 1tb samsung 970 evo + for your windows C drive.
