(Full PcPartPicker build listed at bottom of post.)
Hey guys!
I'm looking for
This post is fully centered on my Motherboard! I'm trying to buy one today if I can.
Looking for
-A reliable manufacturer
-I'd like to do overclocking.
-A good reliable Bios
-Easy to use RGB (first time with RGB)
-Some decent bells and whistles
-$200-$400 CAD range
- I'll be doing most/all shopping at Memory Express so hopefully they will have it.
The most important things to me is reliable manufacturer with stable bios. Less headaches the better. Since its not coming thru the mail, DoA's / returns / dealing with manufacturer won't be an issue. Memory express will take care of everything. (At least at first. Long term stability is important)
Also keep in mind memory express will price beat any Canadian store (Yay PcPartPicker!!)
I'm sure most of my concerns are overkill but peace of mind is still nice.
(I'm a "once every 3-5 years" type buyer)
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks!

I just have a small question to pin here at the bottom
I have a 5-10 year old Power Supply
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1200 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply
This was before that big change happened with Power Supplys and you would buy 750w-1500w on big builds. Then one day I learned you no longer used such high watt PS anymore.
Should I still be using this power supply that's so old? Haven't had problems yet but I do plan to OC and get a RTX 2080TI. Little worried about the cables being out of date. If I don't use it then its going to my friend. 1200w is just overkill especially on his build. No matter what I'll be buying another PS. Either i'll take the 1200w or the new one.
