Hey all, I narrowed down 2 choices for a new PC build so far -
9900KF CPU and 2080TI GPU
I started looking through the Sortable comparison tables in the sticky threads, but I found myself confused pretty quickly as to what to get.
Here are some guidelines for me for the mobo:
99% gaming. 1% web surfing and Roll 20 nerdage
Not looking for a $500 board or a $30 board. I do want performance, but I'm not an enthusiast. Maybe a hobbyist?
Mostly game with a headset - but I am looking to going back to having speakers as well (should I buy a sound card or look for better integrated audio?)
I will have a large tower... I like big (towers) and I cannot lie...
I will have a closed loop system or as many big fans as I can get to keep it cool
I haven't chosen a color scheme, but it will not be red and black. I've had red and black for 5 years - time for a change. (probably just the red part - I like black)
Gigabyte Z390 Aorus was already recommended, I was looking at the ASRock Z390 Phantom's... few too many options to sort through though. (Just now learning about USB 3.1 as well). Not brand loyal... just want performance and ease of use wouldn't be too bad.
