New PC build

[Oleris]

I changed the ram and a couple parts up. I added my current monitors and headset as well. Hoping this lasts me 5 solid years at high FPS.

Why would you sink that much money into PC but be on a five year refresh cycle?

Southern California has a high cost of living, but also higher wages. My old CPU was released in January 2011. My current computer was built around then and overtime I upgraded my ram and GPU, but was limited by my CPU socket.

I will probably do the same with this build. I see myself getting a SLI bridge down the road and probably upgrading my ram in 3-4 years.

20 year old me used to dream of working on a list like that, piece by piece each paycheck. 34 year old me decided video games are boring and a smart phone is just as good. Looks like a nice system though! Hope you like it.

Have you considered any M.2 SSD instead of SATA?

Something like: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...9SIA12K7968212

Nope. I have been asking build a pc reddit for advice on my build and this is the first that I have heard of a PCI Express SSD. It looks alot more convenient than having to bracket and mount a sata SSD or 3.5 hard drive.

I will definitely look into this when I need additional SSD space.

Have you built your rig yet?

I would suggest a different motherboard if you plan on doing any overclocking on that 8700k. The power delivery on that ASUS board looks weak. Consider spending a little extra on a nice Z390 chipset board - they basically all have beefy VRMs because they're designed for the 9th Gen. Intel CPUs. This also means that you can drop an 8C/16T 9900k into your board in a couple years if you want and not worry about any throttling due to overheating VRMs.

That Asus Z370 will support a 9900k drop in, but its power delivery WILL NOT. Honestly that VRM setup may even struggle with an overclocked 8700k.
