MSI Z390 MEG Godlike
This category is simple: you've got money to burn and you're happy to burn it. In that case we can probably interest you in either the Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Xtreme or MSI MEG Z390 Godlike, both are exceptional products and are the very definition of overkill. They both also cost more than the Core i9-9900K.
