what makes a good motherboard I have no clue what actually sets them apart other than the price.

chipset/phase changers/and socket/slot support

What art said, caps and phase changers are the two big ones if you ever OC it.

That board/cpu is actually what i'm running now and I'm stable at 5 GHZ. Asus is generally the most friendly to tweak and generally a better product.

It's all about preference. He's an ASUS fanboy. I'm an EVGA fanboy. If you replaced all his ASUS parts with EVGA parts, you'd save $300 on his build. As for the CPU, I'd go with an i7-8700k over an i7-9700k because an i7-9700k has half as many processors (lacks hyper-threading) and costs $100 more.

I don't OC my stuff because it's the equivalent of hot-rodding your car. Your system will last half as long.

/edit...

oh so my pc build has an AIO so you can sell that later on but use it till ur mate can build your loop when availible.

also maybe check out primochill for solid white tubing if you want.
may also have nicer fittings but no time to look.

Why spend that much on a PC to have someone else put it together. The fun part is assembling if yourself.

it's a bird!
it's a plane!
it's..... oh.. what in the fuck did i just read? 5k budget and he recommends to buy a prebuild from cyberpower??? oh god, u aint superman
DO NOT DO THIS OP SIR.

I'm in Chicago area but haven't done a custom loop before

so do my build for him, and his mate can do the loop part later
