Wise decision.

Re: Intel i7-9700k
This is all very useful for me because with the End of Life approaching for Win 7, I'm planning a new machine--working on the specs right now and have a lot of the same questions. Trying to decide between the 9700K and the 9900K.
I'm curious about this listing in your specs: 3 Year Collect & Return warranty Are you having this machine built? I'm looking at two different vendors who do builds: Adamant and eCollegePC. They have similar listing in the their specs. I also wonder about the GPU. I don't want to skimp on the CPU, motherboard, or RAM, but wonder about the GPU. What led you to the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 Windforce 8GB GPU? In my case, I don't play video games at all. I think anything over a 1060 would be overkill. |

I spec'd out a couple of different builds on https://pcpartpicker.com/ and then selected as close to the same options on Adamant and eCollege. The difference was only a couple of hundred bucks (what was around $1700 on pcpartpicker was about $1900 on either of those), plus shipping, with a 3-years parts/labor warranty. While I probably could build my own, I have neither the time nor the setup to do so. I'm really stuck on the GPU. I tend to keep systems a long time; I believe in maxing out RAM. I'd rather get 64 GB of RAM and a lower priced GPU than 32 GB of RAM and a GPU that costs twice as much, which I don't think I really need. Thanks. |

Re: Intel i7-9700k
I'm very interested in this post because I'm toying with replacing my i7-960 @ 3.20 GHz with an i7-9700k @ 3.60 GHz, paired with a Gigabyte Aorus Master motherboard.
