[SOLVED] New PC Build

[Jordwano]

Hello all,

I am looking to build a new system for gaming at 1080p 144Hz high to max settings, whilst recording my gameplay and editing it afterwards.

Currently I have:
Intel i3-8350k
AsRock z390m-itx/AC
8GB Kingston HyperX Fury 2133MHz
GTX 980

The games I play currently are:
League of Legends
Tom Clancy's R6S
CS:GO
WoW
Borderlands 3
CoD MW (when it's released on Battle.net

I do also want to play more of the new AAA titles that are/have come out

I plan on keeping the 980 for the build. But I wanted to get some information as to whether I should look at buying a 3600x seeing as though AMD has made such huge improvements with the Ryzen 3000 CPU's. That being said, I mentioned that I want to record my gameplay and edit it, but I may consider streaming in the next 6 months when the infrastructure for home internet has been improved in my area allowing me to take advantage of higher upload speeds. If I go to AMD I will be buying a set of 16/32GB 3200MHz RAM as I know Ryzen loves it's high frequency RAM

Thank you all for your time and help

I would just upgrade the CPU and RAM and add an SSD if not already installed.
that motherboard is still new and very capable of doing what you need/want.

Sorry my mistake my board is a z370 no a z390, but after a bios update it should support 9th gen correct?

with the proper BIOS you can install an 9900k in that board. one quick flash and your 9th gen ready.
BIOS version 1803
