I'm looking for a CPU and motherboard combo to pair with my NVIDIA 1070 Ti. Ideally, I want something from Intel, but I'm open to other suggestions too. My budget is around โ‚ฌ165 for each part. Also, I already have Kingston 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM, so I'm good on that front!

I personally went with an i5 10th Gen, and itโ€™s handled my 1070 Ti like a champ. Just make sure whatever motherboard you choose is compatible with the RAM speed and the GPU!

Do you have your RAM already? Knowing what you have can help narrow down options better.

GamerChill27: Yes, I've got 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHz from Kingston!

You might want to check out the Intel i5 12600K along with a B760 motherboard. It's a solid match for your setup! Here's a link to the MSi B760 board: [MSI B760 Gaming](https://www.amazon.com/MSI-B760-GAMING-motherboard-Intel/dp/B0BZD3BMZL) and for the CPU: [i5 12600K](https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-12600K-Desktop-Processor-Unlocked/dp/B09FX4D72T). They'll both work well with your 1070 Ti!
