hello guys!
i bought I5-9600K
at first i wanted Ryzen 7 2700X
but as i only intend to play games i know that i5-9600k is better for gaming

the thing is that i dont really know which MB to buy
so i ordered from amazon: ASUS ROG Strix B360-H Gaming - link
but they havent shipped it yet so i kinda have more "time" to see which one is better for me

so i know that "K" is for OC and i dont really do that but incase i will, what is the best option if we comare prices ?
also, the mb i bought is any good? for gaming only no OC at all

thank you very much!
 
To be honest that motherboard is a bad choice, for a 9600k you really want a Z390 board to use the ‘k’ overclocking features of the cpu. The motherboard isn’t compatible with AMD.

Technically the 9600k is faster for pure gaming but without knowing what gpu and monitor resolution/Hz you will be running I cannot say if you would actually see any benefit.

my rig is
zotac 1070 ti amp
16gb of ram Corsair
screen MSI OPTIX 32" 165hz

*Think of it as I only want gaming.. OC is no really my thing but it can be..... what is the best option for me
of course depending on the price? (up to 105$)

PS: this one will do the work? - MSI Arsenal GAMING ATX Motherboard (Z370M MORTAR)
