[SOLVED] Time to upgrade parts. Advice for things what i should take to account?

[Nico_13]

Hi,

I need advice when making upgrades to my current gear. What should i take into account when making changes for example more powerful GPU & CPU. Could you give me suggestions?

My current gear:

Mother:
GA-Z170-GAMING K3-EU, LGA1151, Intel Z170, DDR4,

CPU
Skylake i5-6600K, LGA1151, 3,5GHz, 6MB, Tray

GPU
Palit GeForce GTX 1060 Dual, 6GB GDDR5

CPU Cooler
Noctua NH-D9L (LGA 115x/2011, AMD AMx

Power supply
650W, VS650, ATX

Memory
Kingston 8GB(2x4GB) HyperX Fury DDR4 2666 MHz, CL15

SSD Disk
250GB 850 EVO SSD SATA III, 540/520 M

What I´m planning
-RTX 2080
-i9 9900k
-(already bought new motherboard Z390-F Rog Strix)
-(already bought memory from 8 GB --> 16 GB )

Should i update my power supply & CPU cooler when i buy i9 & RTX2080?
Something else i should take into account?
I appreciate your advice in advance thank you!

You should upgrade the PSU, the VS series are very poor as far as quality and the 9900K/ RTX 2080 draws much more power then your current system.

I would suggest a good quality 750W unit such as the Seasonic Focus Gold.

what wildcard said.

No way I would let a VS power a new "gaming" rig.

-(already bought memory from 8 GB --> 16 GB )

So you bought a new set of 2x4 GB 2666 mhz of the same ram?

G.SKill Flare X DDR4 RAM 16 GB

• 2x 8 GB DIMM, 2400 MHz
• CL15 timing, 1.2/1.35 V
• Designed for AMD Ryzen

This is what i bought. I sold my old ones.

Thank you so much. I did look into that model and it seems pretty decent price and its pretty available in my country. Great!

Other than the point about PSU Wildcard did. I find no discrepancies

I do no know the cooler in question, but might wanna beef it up.
How did it perform with the 6600K and did you overclock it?

Per Noctua the NH D9L should be able to handle the 9900K but I would imagine that's at stock and would maybe include the stock turbo boost.
