very solid combo - just annoying that nearly all of Gigabyte's boards top out at 2.5Gbe when MSI and ASUS are already leaning into 5Gbe and up.

Pay $50 more and get the 9700x. Less heat, less power consumption, slightly faster.

If you're wondering about the board, it's the same as MC has been using for at least a couple years now. The 9700X bundles I bought last year for $379 used it, and I've not had any customer builds with issues yet. Some of the newer MC bundles have much worse budget motherboards, fyi.

any practical non-commercial application for 5gbe besides running local servers?

dunno why the thumbs down, 9000 series is a significantly more efficient cpu that translates to less power and heat. its much easier to manage the occasional "spin up" noise without having to invest in expensive cooling solutions.

I need to upgrade my PC that can't run Windows 11. My main requirements are 4+ SATA ports (I have an SSD, 2 HDDs and a DVD burner), dual video out, and at least 1Gb ethernet.

I'd also love to keep my existing 500W power supply. I heavily prioritize quietness (i.e., low heat) over performance (this is a home office computer, not a gaming rig, although I'm hoping to do more personal photo management post-upgrade).

And I'd love if it lasted me another 10 years. (my current CPU and MB are from 2014 and still chugging along fine after a RAM upgrade a few years ago--it's the Windows 10 EOL thing that's killing me.)

With the price of RAM these days, this 9700X bundle seems like a solid deal. Is it the right choice for me?

Also, will my 500W power supply (spec sheet here: https://www.evga.com/products/Spe...796640508d) work with this board, which appears to have an 8+4 CPU connector? The PS spec sheet says it has a 4+4 CPU connector, but I wonder if I can combine that with one of the PCIe or peripheral 4-pin connectors? Or do I actually need a new PS?

pcpartpicker.com is your friend. Add everything in there and it shows how much power you PSU draws or if it's incompatible.
