Replacing i5 4460 gtx 960 for 1080p gaming 144hz CSGO Overwatch BlackOps PUBG

[mullen_]

Hi everyone.
I could use some help building my new gaming pc.
Recently the 8700k price went up to 469€ in my region, which is about 535$. So I want to replace the 8700k with a i5 9600k. Almost the same 1080p performance for 130€ less is a good deal.


The "new" setup I´m going to buy at the end of novemeber:

i5 9600k with Alpenföhn Brocken 3
16gb ripjaws v 3200 cl16
?070 gtx (not sure yet)
sharkoon pure steel tower
z??? motherboard

from old system:
1tb ssd samsung
530w TT silver

Which motherboard is a good choice?
Which one to pick for overclocking? Targeting ~5ghz+ all core.
Is there a noticeable difference between z370 and z390?


Thanks in advance!

The only major differences between Z370 and Z390 are the inclusion of native wireless AC and native USB 3.1 gen2.

Everything else is exactly the same including, on most boards, power delivery VRM designs.

Any of the high end ASUS or ASRock boards would be good choices. What is your motherboard budget?

Budget is 1300€/1500$ happy when its cheaper.
Is a r7 2700x also an option? I´m streaming CS:GO and BlackOps 2 times a week.
Just saw that its cheaper than an i5 9600k in my region. Never considered ryzen tbh

Ryzen is a very good option. This would be just as good for gaming as what you were looking at previously. Maybe better.

Or even better, but a little more. Actually, MUCH better if you really want to get your game on and not be looking at another upgrade in two years.
