Buildzoid did a really good roundup of z390 mobos and VRM and Gigabyte did quite well, with the UD being his "best VRM value" or something like that.

Also FWIW I've been running a 9700k on a Arous Master, and I can hit 5.0 at 1.335 on medium llc, plus 4x8 gb ram at XMP 4000mhz.

Solid deal but you could spring for the Aorus Elite or Aorus Pro which are going for $195 and $197. They should handle a 9900K 5GHz well.

Btw, for those looking for a decent motherboard, I picked up a Gigabyte Z390 AORUS Elite for $92 shipped (including tax in ca) from amazon warehouse (with the 20% off deal). I’m not sure how many they have available.

These are all my selected parts

Alright Ill give you two options an amd and an intel option. The intel will be better for most games in the current year and probably for some time, but it will also be more expensive.

INTEL CPU, MOBO, RAM, COOLER , €740.67AMD CPU, The tomahawk max ( I cant link it because It cant be bought in US yet), RAM, COOLER €559.88

The cooler is largely my preference and I would only highly recommend that you use it on 9700k, you could get away with something cheaper on the 3600. If you are planning doing anything like streaming/recording, or using editors that aren't PS you should probably go for an amd chip. The amd chip is obviously significantly cheaper, but I think that its also probably the better deal, that said.If you are purely gaming go with the 9700k to really get the performance that you want for now and the coming years.

on amazon, that combo comes out to 529 USD or 765 aud

that's pretty much under ops budget

Mobo: Aorus Elite

CPU: i7 9700K

​

also the r5 3600 won't be able to the most out of the 2080ti, the 9700K can
