[SOLVED] Thinking about upgrading my Asus Tuf X299 Mark 2 to something newer with better features

[kwikvinny]

I currently have a Asus Tuf X299 Mark 2 motherboard with a i9 7900x processor. Was wondering what would be the best motherboard that would go with my processor? Id like to be able to overclock and have all the extra features i can get.

Is it even worth it for me to upgrade to a new motherboard or is there no real new features I will benefit from so I should keep my motherboard and maybe get a new liquid cooler with a custom loop to cool cpu! Gpu and ram? Or even something else?

Because it seems you don't really know what "features" you wish/need, I would recommend you keep your PC as it is -it's still quite good performer.
As for overclocking, I don't think it's worth to spend money on few % performance increase -which at the end, you probably won't even notice (except higher fans noise).

Not sure if you can answer this but i found a custom liquid cooler for my case but im not sure if it fits my model case. My case is a Lian Li pc-o11wx and the custom liquid cooler is a Bitspower Touchaqua Sedna O11D Kit Set for LIAN LI O11 DYNAMIC Series Chassis. It says its for "Dynamic" version case i dont know if my case will work? This is where the liquid cooler can be purchased https://www.performance-pcs.com/wat...t-for-lian-li-o11-dynamic-series-chassis.html . I would really like to get this if it fits.

I agree with BogdanH on the motherboard.
When purchasing a motherboard, it should primarily be about its features.
If you don't have a clue what you want in a mobo - besides the obvious things like a capable VRM and LED headers - then getting a new one is a waste of money.

Are you familiar with custom liquid at all? There's no mention in the initial post that you are.
If you are not, I would strongly suggest you reconsider purchasing that kit.
If you are familiar with it and have done your research on it, then disregard this.
