Keep my delidded 5ghz 8700k vs upgrading to a 9900k.

[oldestgregg]

As the title says really...keep the 5ghz 8700k or upgrade to a 9900k?

I have the ROG Strix Z370-f gaming board so I could keep the same board and sell the CPU to cover some of the costs and I game with a 2080ti/Predator 4k monitor.

Am I being silly upgrading here or will I get any benefits from doing it? Apologies if this is a well worn topic but Ive not been keeping up on stuff due to a 2 year old and Im just starting to get back into the upgrade/performance game again.

Well you may have a 2 year old, but a 2080ti and 4k Predator says to me you have spent some dosh over the last year at least
My advice would be do absolutely nothing until Zen 2 is retail and we all know what it does. The 9900K could well be old tech and out of the game in a few weeks time............................who knows.

Yeah it wasnt cheap but I dont drink or smoke and work in sales for a well known company so my commission can be.....fruitful, shall we say!

Top revenue earner?

Theres people there earning 70k a year for selling stuff over the phones so I wouldnt class myself as a *top* revenue earner but I do alright for myself

That's all right then. i drink at least 2 bottles of Merlot a day. Own my own company so don't rely on any commission..............................i'm still going to wait for Zen 2.

Nice one. Sorry, I didnt mean to come off as braggy I was just saying that Im OK about the cost of upgrading, its more will I see any benefit really.

Doubt it's worth the upgrade.

A 9900k is approx the price of 1 months supply of merlot, don't waste your money

Haha I appreciate the merlot to pounds comparison there, as does the wife : D
