I am finally going to make my new system. I think about the last one I built, which was this 4690K with an i5 and 16GB of RAM from MSI. I don't know what GPU to choose for my next one yet, but it is ready to order parts from this link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HXWvcx. Some questions came up about the GPU; positive reviews exist and it isn't too expensive. It was on sale at Newegg for $1200. I also don't know if I need that specific MOBO. I am looking for one that works great with a 9800X3D but what does this give me over another one for $300? I might overclock it too. I was told to keep the RAM at 6000 CL30, so that's why I picked that one. Any other suggestions?
