If you have the money for it then I would say yes. Your mobo and ram are also important. The Apex is a top quality board but might be too costly, generally for max memory oc potential you want 2 dimm boards. ITX boards like Unify and Aorus Ultra ITX are decent budget alternative.canx66 wrote: ↑11 Aug 2020, 05:37Is it worth to upgrade to a 10900k from 3700x SMT OFF - for input delay purposes? My system on 240hz(v-sync, g-sync on, capped at 237 fps) feels like a brick. Everything is delayed, microstutters.. my brother is on 9900k on 144hz and just by looks its looks very responsive and snappier :-/

3600mhz 16-16-16-36 isnt bad, but for an 10900k I would suggest 4400mhz cl19 , the patriot viper steel are solid sticks. Also if your current sticks are b-die then you might keep it and oc it @CR1. Also consider investing into a ram cooler, they should cost around 10-20$ and can easily help you push your memory oc further due to lower temps. This is a good ram cooler at that price.
A very overlooked part when buying hardware is the psu, my knowledge on psu is limited. But titanium or platinum rated 800w (or+) should be good enough. Also if you're going all out on input delay 5700xt might be worth looking into, the general consensus that (non-vega) amd gpus are snappier than nvidia gpus. You can also adjust the vram timings on 5700xt which you cannot do on 10th or 20th series nvidia cards.
