and I haven’t built a machine since 2012. I haven’t been following advances in pc hardware either and this machine is going to be top notch. I do have some questions for the more knowledgeable people here.
1) what is the difference between m.2 and nvme?
2) do psu rated gold and plantium offer better stability or just longevity? Which brands are most reliable?
3) is water cooling reliable? “Sealed for life” coolers good? Stick to air cooling on the i9-9900k? It would be a light overclock if anything. Thoughts?
4) is z370 currently the best mobo for an i9-9900k and which brands are most reliable?
5) in the past I’ve used only power strips that were generic that offer surge protection. I feel like it would have been a pretty poor amount of protection if it was ever needed. I’d like proper protection this time and would like to know what that entails?
6) do you have any questions or advice for me? Important to know planned specs are i9-9900k; 2080ti, minimum 64gb ram.
