Yes, 6 SATA is enough.
Fans, great. I will see what I can even get here. I don't really need all the flashing lights, but hey it's a cool bonus. haha.
Yes, it's my money, I know, I want the extra RAM, I don't plan to upgrade again for awhile, it will be nice to have it available if I do install a cool game or three.
GPU, got it. things have changed then, I know before their were dual slot cards, but like the one i have only uses one. So, yeah, ok, I can use two if it gets me a better card with more funtionality and helps with the folding and IF I decide to play a game or three.
On games, yes, ok, clarification, I play simcity, it's friggin old, not even sure it would run on the newer machines anyway, but there are new versions of it, so yeah, the good GPU will speed things up, it's nice to have.
For a 630W power supply, sure, it helps let me have some room to spare and I like that. thanks. headroom is needed.
I have stock in Nvidia, and I like them, thus.. you know... haha.
Some specs say it is USB 3.1 [EDIT, sorry that is type C connector.. so nevermind... ], I guess that just means it can support it? I know what you mean that usb 2 will not become faster when plugged into usb 3, I know, the device needs to be able to handle it, but more and more devices will need the usb 3 in the future.
trents, thanks. that is useful to know also. It seems the Z is indeed what I need. I won't be doing much with graphics so Z sounds exactly right.
So with that in mind, and with everything above, can you recommend a couple of other boards for me to look over the specs for? I must be searching wrong in newegg, because titles are not coming up with i9 support with the specs I enter. EDIT: I may not be able to get the ASUS Prime Z390-A LGA 1151 here, looks like sold out, or not easy to get. I would like a few different ones to make sure they have at least one of them.
Ok so I went and did some quick checking on local prices, these are from NTD to USD. Some of products I could not find exactly and may have to substitute, but this is what I found, let me know what you think. I will go to the computer market downtown to buy the system, will get better prices than these for sure, but not sure how much discount, probably $100-$200 less there for the whole thing. Got some friends in some industries also that may be able to get me some discounts.
PS EVGA 650W GD 80PLUS $88
GQ and GD seem more expensive, what are these for?
CORSAIRHydro H100i PRO RGB CPU $133
Intel i9-9900k $513
HyperX Impact DDR4 3200 16GB 4x $650 I cannot find the other one online that you recommended presently, but I won't pay this much for it, so I need to look around. Can you advise which memory brands will work best with the setup? I'm not paying $650 for memory, I am sure I can find it cheaper.
MB - depending. still thinking.
AORUS GeForce RTX 2060 XTREME 6G $477
EDIT: So there is no confusion, every dollar I have written or will write in the thread is in USD.
