A: You need a z390 or a z370 motherboard to use this processor so just upgrade both.
A: Hi Kiljoy723, for streaming while gaming I would recommend something with more cores. If you already have a motherboard with the LGA1151 socket I would recommend the Intel Core i7-9700 processor. If you also have to get a motherboard then I would recommend the Intel Core i7-10700 which also adds hyperthreading which Best Buy has here https://www.bestbuy.com/site/intel-core-i7-10700-10th-generation-8-core-16-thread-2-9-ghz-4-8-ghz-turbo-socket-lga1200-locked-desktop-processor/6411495.p?skuId=6411495 Thank you for choosing Intel.
A: Hi Saucedo, great news, your Asus motherboard 90MB0WQ0-M0EAY0 is compatible with the Intel Core I5-9600K as they both use the LGA 1151 socket. Just so you are aware it will be compatible with all Intel 9th generation processors should you decide to look at Intel Core I7 or Intel Core I9 processors as well. Looking at the specs for your motherboard it also has multiple M.2 slots which will allow also install Intel Optane memory. Intel Optane memory will help reduce boot and load times, and help accelerate launching your favorite programs so everything feels faster and more responsive. Thank you for choosing Intel.
Q: does it have intergrated graphics Intel UHD Graphics 630
A: Yes. All the K cpu have intergrated graphics.
Q: Does this processor work with the GIGABYTE H310M S2P motherboard?
A: Yes, according to Gigabytes website this board supports 9th gen Intel processors. Do note that older versions of this board will require a bios update before it will work with the 9th gen CPUs
Q: will this work with a b150a gaming pro motherboard?
A: HI rugrat4x, your MSI B150a motherboard unfortunately is not compatible with the Intel Core i5-9600K processor since it uses an older B150 chipset that is only compatible with 6th generation Intel Core processors. For the Intel Core i5-9600K processor you will need a motherboard with the LGA 1151 socket and 300 series chipset. Best Buy does sell compatible motherboards which you can check out here https://www.bestbuy.com/site/computer-cards-components/motherboards/abcat0507008.c?id=abcat0507008&qp=processorsocketsv_facet%3DProcessor%20Socket~Socket%20LGA%201151 I also recommend Intel Optane memory which will help make you system more responsive from faster bootups, to faster launching of your most used files, applications and games. Check out https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/optane-memory.html to learn more about Intel Optane memory. Thank you for choosing Intel.
Q: is a MSI - B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (Socket AM4) USB-C Gen2 AMD Motherboard compatible
A: Hi Bob, the Intel Core i5-9600K is not compatible with the MSI - B450 TOMAHAWK MAX as that motherboard is made for AMD processors. For the processor you are looking at you will need a motherboard that has a LGA 1151 socket. Here is link to compatible motherboards that Best Buy carries. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/computer-cards-components/motherboards/abcat0507008.c?id=abcat0507008&qp=processorsocketsv_facet%3DProcessor%20Socket~Socket%20LGA%201151 Thank you for choosing Intel.
