Hello everyone,

Just signed up in the hope that someone could help me out. I am making a PC for my son on this Christmas and have selected Intel's i9 10900k as the processor.

I was reading this website and they EMPHASIZED a lot on choosing a motherboard with a good VRM but I am not SURE what exactly is a good VRM for performance that can make a school going kid happy in his gaming department.

I'd really appreciate if someone can suggest me the best option. I am a total noob in this department and any cheaper but reliable recommendations will make my day!

Thank you. Is the system that you want to put together just for gaming?  What type of BUDGET do you have to work with?Hi,

Anything in between $150 - $200 should be well under my budget.

Yes, that's the sole purpose. I just don't want him to come back to me saying he isn't able to play newer titles so if there is anything that'll cost more, I wouldn't drive a hard bargain on that.  Hi

You have only linked a review of motherboards , which is one of the parts to make up a computer. The motherboard is about 1/8th of the total cost. So to get a system to run the latest titles you would need to spend in the RANGE of $800 +. Quantos is great at build design I'm just saying this so you can get a total Christmas present price.The $150-$200 budget was just for the MB, right?I have actually just bought all the components today.

Here is the list:

Processor: Intel i9 10900k
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i RGB
Motherboard: MSI MPG Z490 GAMING PLUS
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32 GB
SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME SSD
Graphics Card: MSI GeForce RTX 3070 8 GB VENTUS 3X OC

All in all, it costed me around $1300 including the CPU case and the Power Supply.

Thank you!
