-I7 9700k. 433+48$=481$
-MSI MEG Z390 ACE. 311+34$ = 345$
-G SKILL Trident Z 16Gb (2x8Gb) 3200MHz 160+18=178$
Total = 1004$.
What do you think?
Later on i can get an nvme SSD.
Do you recommend the Intel 660p that pcandparts have in stock now?
What types of games do you play? If they are CPU intensive like civilization 6 i would spend the extra 100$ on the i9 9900k as it is multi threaded 8C/16T unlike the i7 9700k 8C/8T and in my opinion the 9900k is more future proof and worth the extra 100$. As for the motherboard and ram they are solid choices just remember to enable the xmp profile so the ram operate at the advertised clock. I would not buy the intel 660p as the read/write speeds are not on par with samsung's nvme and they are budget orienteded SSDs and have some drawbacks but still better than any HDD. Check :

Mutiplayer I play like games pubg and Battlefield.
Single player, basically any sort of triple a title that comes out, I play it, like far cry, fallout, middle earth shadow of war, tomb raider and any other games that I find interest in playing.
Also, and I forgot to mention this in my first post, but I have an HTC vive.
And even though I'm not using it now, when I finally graduate, I'm gonna set up a specific room for it and start playing VR.
I already own fallout 4 vr.
So, back to my choice,
I was already somewhat thinking that, If I buy the msi carbon pro Ac motherboard instead of the Meg ACE and save a bit on the mb choice then I would add that extra amount to the cpu and get the i9 9900k.
