I really appreciate this!

The equivalent Z790 is 200 more :-(

1080/60 I'm a simple man. May upgrade to 1440 at some point but I'm not in a rush. I know it's complete overkill for 1080 but I cant see spending money on, say, a 7700 when it doesn't save me that much and I may want to go 1440 at some point.

The equivalent Z790 board is 200 more .....thats why I went with 690. I'm not going to be butthurt if I can only clock to 5600, it wouldn't hurt my performance much would it? Rather clock down to 5600 than piss the wife off lol or to cut a corner somewhere else. The 13700k was 300 bucks from a...

Really appreciate any feedback. May go with the 011 dynamic, may go with the H9 Flow. Not 100 percent on the memory, considering Kingston Fury. Not 100 percent on the NVME either but I've about reached maximum wife-approved budget lol Already have the 13700k bought from an [H]'er...

Sorry. Just saw this. I appreciate it, I think I'm going with a Z690 carbon.

Really appreciate you taking the time!! Thanks!

I'm thinking the Z690 carbon. MSI seems to be the way to go at the moment and it has everything I'm looking for. I really appreciate it!

Also...I do like having an LED debug display which seems basically impossible to find on any mid range board for Z790 but seems to be attainable on 690.

Yes, blacked out with some subtle RGB or none at all. Sleek. Honesty at the end of the day I will barely see the motherboard so I'm being too uptight about it. But one of the Tomahawk boards I was looking at had yellow trim which I felt was ugly (one of the Asus boards has orange, too which I...

I really appreciate you taking the time to share your input. The entire reason for Z790 is because I dont have a spare LGA1700 cpu. So if happen to get a Z690 board without an updated bios already I dont want to be screwed. I've never built a rig having to be concerned about current bios...

I'm a little pissed at ASUS but I've always loved their boards. My daily is an ancient Maximus Hero. I'm looking to get a good board without spending 500 bucks. The Hero is now obnoxiously expensive and I'm just not spending that much. MSI boards are, sorry, ugly unless I'm looking in the above...

Bump for looking. If I dont get any bites on the thread I just posted I'll probably snag the 1070.

Building a system for my kid. Looking for the best GPU I can get for somewhere around $110. Will be paid via PayPal, shipping would be to 15207. Don't mind going up a few bucks for a boost in performance. Im not picky about AMD or Nvidia. If nobody has anything I'll likely bite on the 1070 I...
