Dear beloved community,
What makes more sense:
Upgrade my current OMEN 880-190nz (total costs: ~$ 1700.00) with following replacement's (see below)
or build a complete new Gaming Desk own built with USD 1700.00
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9 9900K 9th. Gen. (Okta-Core @3.60GHz) Intel UHD Graphics 630 Max. RAM: 64 GB DDR4, 2666MHz +
GPU: ASUS DUAL GeForce RTX 4070 Super OC
12 GB +
Memory: Crucial DDR4 ECC UDIMM 1Rx8 3200Mhz 4 x 16 GB RAM +
PSU: 650 Watt EVGA Super Nova 650 G5 +
Harddisk: NVME SSD: Kingston KC3000
4096 GB, M.2 2280
What makes more sense in your expert opinion?
Thanks in advance
Kind Regards
Zakkar

Hi @Zakkar
You told me your PC was a 880-001nx at this Link.
HP specs for a 880-001nx at this Site clearly state this PC's MB (Tampa) supports Intel 7000 series CPUs only. Please carefully review all Tampa MB specs at this Site.
An Intel 9900K processor will fit in the Tampa MB's (LGA 1151) socket but the CPU may not work with the Z270 MB. This is a complicated issue which also revolves around how Intel modified power delivery in the LGA 1151 CPU socket 300 series MBs to accommodate the 9900K. I did not want to get into all the nitty gritty stuff.
I don't know what info you provided to @NonSequitur777 but in this current thread you are now telling the Forum your PC is a 880-190nz.
The 880-190nz, which has the Tampa2 MB, would support an Intel 9900K.
So, both NonSequitor777 and I are giving you correct information using the product number you have provided to each of us.
Regards
