Age of Conan
Pros: Running Age of Conan great. 100+ fps on high settings. I'm using 1280x1028 resolution because I like it. Core 2 Duo 8400 A-DATA Vitesta 4GB DDR2 800 GIGABYTE GA-EP35-DS3L ASUS EN9600GT
Cons: no
Best z390 board at about 150
Pros: * One of the few motherboards in Combo deal with latest i5-9600k CPU savings $20 * Mail in rebate saves another $10 * Also included in the Newegg 15% off order deal up to $50 deal * USB 3.1 Gen 2 type A and type C ports * Dual M.2 NVMe PCIex4 * Wifi Intel built in and Bluetooth built in * Dual PCIex16 both with steel reinforcements for SLI Nvidia GPU * Unique aspect is the shorter 8.8" width which allowed me to build in microATX Case Masterbox Q300L by attaching the PSU vertically where the optical drives normally are (case doesn't have any optical drive slots anyway) * Benchmarks prior to purchase of a new video card (ran out of money) here: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/11794794
Cons: General "Con" for Newegg. I wish Newegg would look at the outside of the boxes and include the product serial numbers in the emailed Invoice to simplify mail in rebate process.
