Cons
- I understand your decision since 8th and 9th gen i7's are priced horribly, but was there not an i5 9600KF available? they can be found for like $55 from time to time.
- That pc doesn't have any upgrade path worth upgrading to, highest it can go is the 9900k, cpu wise.
- Right now, it has worked well with the 3080 but I'm worried that it may be impacting the 1% Lows, AM5 is currently pretty expensive due to the RAM prices, so AM4 and 12 gen Intel sounds better so I can keep the old RAM, but I'm hesitatin...
- I'll now try with the last build i had: z390ud-1660ti-16gb ram-i5-9600kf, hoping this time nothing goes wrong, it just seemed weird to me how the mobo basically died out of age, i kept it in its antistatic wrap and original box, i expect...
- The RAM is dragging you down so much at 1300 speed. If you are near a micro center I would get the $350 7500 X3D bundle or 5600 CPU build if not, and the other 350 for the GPU.

Original Parts: - Intel i5-9600kf As you can see, the chipset and CPU are the weak point and they are probably severely bottlenecking the system.
I currently have an i5 9600kf and an RTX 2070 Super and Benq xl2411p monitor.
My specs are I5 9600KF MSI GTX 1660ti Asrock H370M 2x8 GB DDR4 memory 500w PSU 512GB SSD Be quiet cpu cooler
