If you're willing to spend a bit for a more reputable brand, the GIGABYTE Z370N WIFI. i thought i'd heard that Gigabyte was considered hit-or-miss, or is that just greyforum tales? honestly i'd never had a problem with my past Gigabyte boards but i also know there were people who never had a problem with their ECS K7S5A and yet i got the impression that board had like a 50/50 chance of "works great no problems/constant crashing and weird errors"

I have one coming for my mini-itx build right now and it seemed like it looked fine to me?

i think a big part of gigabyte and msi being lovely was back when amd boards were the complete wild west power delivery wise and the first gen of the newer bioses were buggy turds

i believe the issue with gigabyte is that rev 1 of a motherboard will be good and reviewed well, etc, but then in later revisions they make changes to cheapen things and you end up with a shittier board. basically, only buy gigabyte at launch of a new chipset

i choose.. not to do that ill just keep this i7-8700 right where it comes specced at and still have way more power than i could ever want today like holy gently caress these things run at the turbo speed, not the base speed the 8700 is basically exactly the same as the 8700k unless you went to OC it and i literally cannot be arsed to 4.3ghz to 4.6ghz per core, for 6 cores? that's insane

id easily justify purely on the base clock alone although since you have power and heat considerations and they have replace fake turbo boost with real turbo boost again, you shouldn't break much spears over the topic

i cant find anythign about the 8 series but the last few gens you drop like 10 degrees if you whack off the heatspreader, scrape the crap off and reapply thermal compound on it

Sniep posted:ya both them do the i7-8700 and i7-8700k fwiw, the computer you posted doesn't need the power you have, nor would an 8700k. 650 W would be more than sufficient, never mind the 750 W you got. (i think when i was building, i calculated something like 450 W minimum for an 8700K/1070 build). similarly, that heatsink would certainly be sufficient for an 8700K, but whatever. you made a good computer that will last a long time, so don't stress!

Yeah. My first few CPU upgrades were partly decided by graphics card slots changing so fuckin fast. You basically had to buy a whole new system. I got 2 generations out of AGP at least, from k7 palomino to k8 sledgehammer. But I couldn't use my old RAM since it demanded ECC registered so I still got hosed in the rear end.
