Hi all, would like opinion, is it worth upgading from I5 8500 to I9 9900k (and adding more ram and newer gpu and psu?)
Currently running
i5 8500 on Asrock Z370 Pro4
16Gb vengance lpx ram @3000mhz cl16
Gigabyte gtx 1660 oc gpu
Powering it all is CX450 80+Bronze psu
Then 1Tb NVME, 525Gb SSD, 500Gb 5400rpm hdd
1080p monitor LG 24mp59g
I put this pc mid to late 2018 when everyone was buying 8400 i managed to get 8500 from here (OC's) opened box for cheaper
I know i'm looking to 3/4's of the system upgrade, but im not in to gaming to much just want to max it out, that was the intention when was choosing the motherboard to go with mid range cpu and upgrade it later. Pc wasn't in a use for like 2 good years since 2020, i do feel sometimes that 6c cpu is a bit falling behind. I know prices are higher then the newer cpus, but just don't feel like i would need newer system if i can upgrade it this and keep it for another 2-3 years, as i'm planing to give this to little one when he's ready to unbox it put it together (yes i still have all the boxes )))
And if i go upgrade path i might upgrade moinitor to 1440p
thank you for any advise
