Perhaps this isn't the best category to ask this in, but I'm thinking of purchasing an MSI Z390-A Pro Motherboard to go with the rest of my pc components and I'm not certain it will be compatible. The reason I'm getting a new motherboard is because my last was incompatible and I didn't realise it before purchasing it because I have a 12 IQ. It still worked, but I was only able to use one stick of RAM due to compatability issues. I am hoping not to make that same mistake.

My build is as follows:
CPU: Intel Core i5-9600k 3.7Ghz - https://www.pccasegear.com/products/44159/intel-core-i5-9600k-processor
GPU: MSI Radeon RX 580 Armor OC 8GB - https://www.pccasegear.com/products/39496/msi-radeon-rx-580-armor-oc-8gb
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB (2x8GB) 3600MHz DDR4 - https://www.pccasegear.com/products/47074/corsair-vengeance-rgb-pro-16gb-2x8gb-3600mhz-cl18-ddr4
PSU: Cooler Master MWE White 650W - https://www.pccasegear.com/products/47056/cooler-master-mwe-white-650w-power-supply

Thanks in advance : )

I wouldn't get that board, first off and then the PSU is something I'd definitely change out to something more reliable. You should look at the Seasonic range of PSU's, they are built well(to last).

What other options for a motherboard do you have?

Make and model of your chassis and aftermarket cooler?

My chassis is the Thermaltake Versa J21 (https://www.pccasegear.com/products/42416/thermaltake-versa-j21-tg-edition-mid-tower-chassis ) and my aftermarket cooler (which I assume means CPU cooler) is the CoolerMaster Hyper T4 (https://www.pccasegear.com/products/32038/coolermaster-hyper-t4-cpu-cooler).

Not sure what other MB options I have, but I'd want to buy something around this price range if possible. Don't really need an incredible rig, just something I can play newer games on without it being a laggy mess.

I'll make sure to check out some Seasonic PSUs as well. What wattage would you recommend?
