After 10 years. Time for a new Bang for buck system

Looks like the 8600K would be a safer bet for that motherboard. According to Pcpartpicker.com the 9600 may need a bios update at least.

Another thing I noticed was that the HDD was of the 3 GB/s type instead of the faster 6 GB/s but for what I quickly studied that doesn't create a bottleneck.

Other than those it looks like a good working horse for years to come.

I would lean towards a DVD drive, rather than the CD.  There is a lot of software available on DVD today.

I'd go for the 9600K paired with a good Z390 motherboard, not the outdated 8x series/Z370 combo (new one has soldered heatspreader, Z390 better USB)
For memory get 2666 speed at least but 3000 should also work in OC mode
SSD as system drive is missing, 250/500GB MX500/860EVO
PSU is good enough with 550W
If you have an old/valid Win7/8 license you may still upgrade to win10 for free

If you do have a good valid license, you should be able to to do a full completely fresh Windows 10 install.....

If you can't find the MS software download tool, so you can download whatever complete OS.iso files you may want or want to try (everything MS has to offer )....then shoot me a pm or email

Might could save you some money

funny about storage drives, i have a 1tb hitachi drive i bought when i had my first build, then got a 500 gb drive.  when i upgraded 4 or 5 years ago i bought a 250 gb ssd.  for some reason i cant recall, i disconected both drives and only use the ssd.  i dont really save anything on my computer so the ssd is always been enough.

anyway the ssd i put it outside of the case on my carpet, i kick it just about everyday since the computer is right next to my feet.  would you believe that ssd has never failed.  i put it on the carpet just to see how long it would last.  it still hasnt fail.

Z390 motherboards seem to be about twice the price too! LOL
Im just going to go with the 8600. Anyone buying me parts is going go by whatever list I provide and I dont want to get into a scenario where If you buy this specific part as opposed to that specific part then you have to get this specific part for this or that one for that. If I could mix and match without too many issues it would be one thing but I am dealing with non computer geeks who may or may not talk to one another
 I did pick a DVD drive. Musta misread it.
"Asus DRW-24D5MT Internal DVD Super Multi DL Black Optical Disc Drive "
From what I am gathering reformatting one of the partisans on my old system and installing win 7 to run a dual boot system on it isnt a great idea?
if thats the case Maybe ill just use my existing unused Win 7 software on this. .
