Hi Remorage,
Thank you so much for a super detailed info you share with me.
What am I thinking, i180 come with x299 and for some reasons I missed that spec..... haha
I'm glad found people out there went through the thought I had. and I decided, I'm gonna do what you did. I'll get i160 and update MOBO, RAM, PSU.
Since Corsair Mint mention about the heat caused as well as you did, I don't see the point getting i180 with i9-9920?! I'm not sure how well this CPU perform with my needs. Then I'd rather get i160 and save some money for future build.
May I get your suggestion for the MOBO please. I want ASUS but which one I should get? I'm an Architectural Designer and I use program below
・AutoCAD
・Revit
・3dsMax
・Sketchup
・V-Ray for rendering
・Adobe Photoshop
・Adobe Illustrator
・Adobe InDesign
・Adobe Premiere
and of course RAM to be 32gb and PSU, I'll swap over to 750.
One last thing, could you share your photo please?
I'd love to see your build.
Thank you again!!! Cheers
