Ok I've waited (as advised on here ) But now its time to Pre order/up grade current PC see below

Ok I've decided deff on the new i9 - 9900K

Power supply I think is going to be.......Seasonic Prime Ultra Platinum SSR-1000 PD Ultra
(unless any one knows any better)

32 Gig RAM DEFF Corsair either the Low profile Vengeance or Platinum Dominator 3000-3200Ghz (May go for some RGB ones)

Main operating system drive Samsung 970 Pro M.2 512 GB NVMe

I was thinking of the Samsung EVO 970 M.2 .....1TB for storage ??????? Good option for this ????

Ok the Motherboard Z390 and always ASUS for me and looking at two Maximus ones but cant decide on the HERO or CODE ???? (ruled out the FORMULA as believe that's more for Water cooling systems)


OK I'm NOT a gamer .....My computer is a general hack Ebay, Music, Film watching glorified porn PC lol......BUT I do occasionally do Video and photo editing and I do like to have a nice machine
Pinnacle Studo ultimate 20
Coral PaintShop Pro X9


I will stick with my current card
Asus GeForce GTX 1070 ROG STRIX OC GAMING 8GB GDDR5 VR Ready Graphics Card, 1920 Core, 1632 MHz GPU, 1835 MHz Boost


I may also go a new case (but I need both my DVD drives and a card reader )

Cooler master Cosmos C70Op
or
Obsidian 1000D

Any thoughts or advice welcome
