Any reason why you went with Z370 mobo? Cause you have a locked processor.

Yes you could if you can find one at a decent price since they have lifetime warranty anyway.

Only temporary. I will upgrade when i have the money.

Actually z370 is top end chipset which aim towards the 8700K and 8600k chips
As for your 8400, a B360 board is more than enough for it and half the price of the motherboard u opt for.
Or u plan to buy a 8600k/8700k/8086k in the future?

Yep planning to buy 8700K in the future

You say you are in Kch, right? Actually prices not that much different so you might as well plan ahead... There will be no end to the waiting game... Wait for RTX, wait for navi, wait for intel 9th gen, wait for zen2 (not the 2400-2700), wait for ram to be cheap, etc...

If you have a spare gpu lying around, just use that first till you are comfortable with further investment. Things will always be cheaper if you dont mind playing with older gear, like i5-6500/ryzen 5-1600 and gtx1060.

yup kch. so better buy online or kch shops? i only have 3k with me right now and i already got i5-8400 cpu.. damn stress cuz this is my first rig sweat.gif

If you're not very computer savvy then perhaps better to buy at shops. That way you can bring back to them and have them check if anything happens to it. If you know what you're doing, then can buy online which is usually cheaper.

Whether or not to buy the parts now, are you planning to wait for RTX or you're just planning to wait for RTX to come out and hoping for GTX to drop prices?

hoping for GTX prices to drop.

How long did he use for mining? If it isn't that long like <6 months, can totally consider it. Anything above a year I'd personally stay away as mining cards usage are usually like 2-3x more compared to a gaming card. Ask him to provide some really close up pictures of the GPU so you can judge yourself the condition of it.

he bought the card January this year.
