AMD Build with 980Ti

[cabal2000]

Hi guys.
I have 2 PC's and my Z97X has crapped out.
Intel or AMD, that is the question. I have been out of the AMD market for so time and from what I can see for Ram, board and processor AMD is about half or 2/3 the price of a intel system.
So, what is a good board that works will with OC, I plan on re using my 980Ti because I am not going to pay the stupid prices on a AMD GPu.

Unfortunately, Nvidia no longer provides updated drivers for their newer GT/GTX/RTX graphics cards. Until the prices of newer AMD graphics cards return to normal, I can only recommend a used RX 560/570/580 that wasn't used for mining.

That said @CaseySJ has a Golden Build description that can give you some insight.

Thanks man. Yes, the highest I can go with Nvidia is 10.13.6 but I am OK with that

Current AMD or Intel motherboards and CPUs may not be able to run High Sierra successfully (at least very few people have successfully done that).

Here is one person (Middleman) who succeeds in using Intel 10th generation hardware to run High Sierra :

[GUIDE] OC 10.13.6 Z490 Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme + Core i5 10400 / i9 11900K + Nvidia GTX 1060

Not long ago, it was said that it was impossible to boot a Z490 based 11-gen system on High Sierra, and it was also said that it could not run Opencore. Well folks, this is the guide you've all been waiting for! This system is both High Sierra AND Mojave compatible...

Middleman also reported that after an upgrade to a new 11th i9 11900K, High Sierra continues to run.
