First, hello. And thanks for any help. Im considering getting a 10850k, just to save some cash considering "black friday" or "cyber moday" and amd 5900x or 5800x isnt close to where i live, and amd has ramped up the prices. Both 5800x and 5900x cost more than what i can get a 10850 or even a 10900 atm... I need a new cpu and motherboard, . Wondering, what motherboard is the "bang for the buck" for a intel 10850k, maybe 10700k .
I just ordered the 10850 paired with an Asus z490-A from Amazon. On sale now for $150 https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Motherb...1606667521&sprefix=asus+z490-a,aps,185&sr=8-1
hope what I wrote for w@w@y might help you too https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/7820x-9900k-10700k-improvements.435088/#post-5860206 that asus prime A board posted above is really good value if you can get it at 160 I wonder why it dropped so low,it used to be more than the aorus elite might this be asus' sketchy approach to pcie 4.0 support ? that said,I'd go for the asus. if you can't get it with a discount,go for aorus elite
