I've recently bought a new CPU (i9-9900K) and GPU (Nvidia 2080 Super)and found out that the i9-9900K isn't compatible with my current motherboard and found that the sources that said it was were wrong when it came. So I'm looking for a new motherboard in the sea of all of them its a bit overwhelming even with the fancy list at the top of this thread.
I'm looking for an upgrade that will be the same dimensions as my current motherboard that will take all the below parts as well as the i9-9900K with a bonus being an RGB header as my water block for the 2080 Super has an RGB cable on it and just hangs there at the moment and if the CPU slot and GPU slot are in the same place as my current motherboard that will mean no new tube bending which will be awesome!
My requirements in a nutshell:
CPU: Intel Core i7-7700
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2080S (Super)
SSD: Samsung 860 Evo 1TB
SSD: Samsung 860 Evo 1TB
HDD: Seagate FireCuda SSHD 2TB (2016)
RAM: G.SKILL Trident Z RGB DDR4 3000 C16 2x8GB
MBD: Asus MAXIMUS VIII HERO
CASE: Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic
Many thanks in advance
