Can I drop an i9 9900 (non-k) into my system?

[Things change I've changed]

I've recently noticed that i9-9900 chips can be had pretty cheap now, just under £300 second-hand, I was wondering with the following system could I just drop this in without any issues, thermal performance limits etc?

My system

CPU: 8700 (non-k)
M/B: Asus ROG B360-F
MEM: 32gb 2666Mhz
GPU: 3080

Resolution: 3440x1440

Will I see much of an uplift in performance in a game like Cyberpunk2077?

I don’t think that board can accept 9th gen cpus

Your board supports it, probably needs a BIOS update first.

Don't know if it would help with Cyberpunk.

Yes you can drop it in and you may see a difference 10fps higher average frames at 1080p.
However, at the resolution you are running the game is GPU bound and the 8700k is right on the cusp of where moving to a better CPU offers little to no performance uplift.
