So i've had a prebuilt PC for starters for a year now and I think its finally time to upgrade but being new to the PC scene I have no clue where to start.
Of course i know to go for Motherboard, CPU, and GPU with some ram or an SSD thrown in and I have some Ideas but nothing clear what to go with. Also im not trying to overclock my rig
Upgrade list:
CPU: I was thinking an i5 9th or 8th gen, something that is lower in price yet will get the job done, or an i7 low budget kinda, a recommendation would be much appreciated and a clear idea
GPU: GTX 1060, and im pretty set on it
Motherboard: This is the area I need some help on, (as well as CPU) I had a Z390 Plus in mind but im not sure my AIO cooler(h100i v2) will fit with it, and im not sure if its good for the job but its a solid price
(I have a solid case I think so im fine there)
So my question is; What is a good recommendation for CPU, and Motherboard that can fit my cooler and not break the bank, my price range I would say could be 750 to 850 and i can go a little higher if needed to like 900
Thanks for helping this Caveman not be so potato
