i5 9600k + RTX 2080 Ti bottleneck?

[Felon]

Just upgraded by GPU, to an RTX 2080 Ti, mostly play at 1440 but want as close to 144fps as I can get, haven't had a chance to test it yet, but I was wondering whether the i5 9600k would be a bottleneck to the GPU and I should upgrade? PcBuilds calculator reckons I'll be 18% bottlenecked, but not sure if this is true or not.

I haven't overclocked the CPU yet, but I might try and push for 5Ghz, if it's worth it?

Cheers for any advice

Cheers, sort of what I was thinking,

Thinking of upgrading to a 9900k I assume that would fit a 2080 Ti a bit more suitably?

Unfortunately it would be a bad investment and leave you nowhere to go from there - if you wanted another upgrade. If it was me, I'd be going 3700x

Need intel, as I as I often run simulation software that requires Intel virtual extensions, (which is a pain) but it has to be Intel.

Jeeez calm down you lot, it's Christmas

To re-iterate, I play at 1440 and want as close to 144fps as I can get, on modern games. I also use this box for simulation work that requires decent CPU, so I'll certainly use it.

I've ordered a 9900KS for delivery on Sat, so I'll let you know how I get on,
