Something like one of these 3 should work nicely. I don't know your budget so I picked out 3 different mobos with 3 different prices.

It was the Prime X390 - A. Alot of reviews specific to the 9900k that i was finding online said that the VRM would bottleneck almost the instant it would be put under any strain. I would like to have a little OC headroom so I can mess around with it as I have never OC'ed before.
​
Ill read up on the taichi though, thank you for the suggestion.
Any luck? Please let me know, am building my 9700k tomorrow w/ this mobo:

ASUS Prime Z390-A
here is exactly what I ordered. as you can see, its labeled as a 8th-9th gen board. my processor is 9th gen. what was showing you potential issues with bios?
How about this one?
I just ordered this.

It would be primarily used as a Boot drive....and for a few games here and there. So constant writing wont be happening on it.
Would this serve as a good drive for Boot/Games? Or should I be better off with a Samsung drive or WD?
Also what would a good motherboard be to pair with it? I am new to the m.2 world (my last build was 7 years ago).
Would this be a good option?

it's one of these cases (I got it at goodwill, so i'm not sure if it's this exact model):
https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Computer-Chassis-Pre-installed-CA-1D5-00S1WN-00/dp/B00PDDMN6S/ref=asc_df_B00PDDMN6S/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309818716690&hvpos=1o6&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3846242144425583237&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033359&hvtargid=aud-801381245258:pla-406164664513&psc=1
and one of these motherboards:

The board doesn't line up with the screw holes on the case, but i'm hoping since the motherboard sits flat that's not too much a problem. My worry is that I bump my desk or something and the motherboard comes into contact with the sides
Go for this.

Hiw about this https://www.amazon.com/Prime-Z390-Motherboard-LGA1151-Gigabit/dp/B07HCY7K9L/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?adgrpid=53586816662&gclid=Cj0KCQjwz8bsBRC6ARIsAEyNnvqKr934XuN0-5XcAM8s5SPNo4OkYhBgHbMbUm3EzR0rpWznePRbbjsaAstTEALw_wcB&hvadid=274791713514&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9003832&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=e&hvrand=1872437739461470011&hvtargid=kwd-2213699294&hydadcr=20131_9665267&keywords=asus+motherboards&qid=1569875015&s=gateway&sr=8-1 and do I need a GPU
eh if you want an apples to apples comparison you should compare boards of the same type. the asus prime-a x399 is $280 while the asus prime-a z390 is $205, honestly with the features u get on the x399 platform i think the price premium is well worth it.
Thank you for the suggestion! I also have a quick follow up regarding ram and motherboards if you wouldn't mind answering. How do you know whether or not a DDR4 ram stick would fit into this motherboard (https://www.amazon.com/Prime-Z390-Motherboard-LGA1151-Gigabit/dp/B07HCY7K9L?pf_rd_p=5cc0ab18-ad5f-41cb-89ad-d43149f4e286&pd_rd_wg=VTpE8&pf_rd_r=ZE5PEY38Z04JH1VWG3W4&ref_=pd_gw_wish&pd_rd_w=Xw4Pz&pd_rd_r=363de1f8-4dd1-46e7-8540-44a3e7a47fd8) and the ram stick I have is the XPG Z1 DDR4 3000MHz. I'm not entirely sure how to find out.

I appreciate it, I'm just trying to understand the reasoning. Like for the same price, isn't this better?

Is auto CPU OC on the Asus Prime Z390-A fine to do? Or if I want a high OC I should do it manually?
