[SOLVED] Upgrading my MEK1

[gencoupe13]

I bought a ZOTAC MEK1 about 2 years ago and it came with a i7 7700 and 1070 Ti. I want to eventually upgrade the CPU and upgrade the video card to a 2080 but I need a new Motherboard and power supply and whatever else that you all would recommend. Anyone know a Mini ITX motherboard that supports a high end CPU and a 2080?


Thank you

In other words you need whole new computer except maybe disk drives ?

Damn...was hoping I wouldn't need a whole new PC. What a waste of $1,400

Anyway, "high end CPU" and that ARK1 mini-itx case should never be put in the same sentence. There is a reason why this came with a 65W non-K CPU... thermals.

You might be able to sell some parts to recover some of your initial investment.
