First time, few doubts.

[hackingtosh]

Hey guys,

Looking to build for the first time and have a few doubts.

Hardware chosen from the "Buyer's Guide"

MB - Z390 Aorus Pro
CPU - 9600K or 8600K
GPU - Sapphire RX 580 with DP
SSD - M.2 + SATA EVO series
PS - Corsair 650W
BT+WiFi - Fenvi T919

RAM - 16GB ????MHz

1) Do I have to get 2133 or any frequency the board supports is fine?

2) Is a 650W PS enough?

Any suggestions on variants for the MB and GPU?

Thank you.

Everything looks good, any speed memory should be fine, I would get a bigger power supply like 750 at least. There are some builds on this site with a guide for the board you have listed. Sapphire GPU is good, I would try and get at least 32 gigs of memory but that's me. Check the Golden builds and the user builds read a few of them it will help you make a bit more informed decisions about what board to use and such. Z370 board is a bit easier to hackntosh with and while z370 board will be compatible with the 9600k it likely will need a bios flash.

Thank you!

The Z390 is at the top of the compatibility list in the Buyer's Guide. What's harder about the 390?
