[SOLVED] 9700k or 9900k

[Fate05]

I am building a gaming PC and was wondering what CPU. I will be starting a yt channel at some stage as well so I will be doing some photoshop and video editing as well as gaming. I am going with an RTX 2080, 32GB DDR4 @3200mhz. I was unsure if the extra money was worth it for those things. If not then I will just get the 9700k =)

Editing and rendering will benefit from as many threads as it can get, specially when you are multitasking. So, 9900k would be the better option ofcourse. Also, it will last way longer than the 9700k, although the 9700k can cover you for now if you wanna save money.

I'd personally spend the extra $100-$150 on the 9900K if you can afford it, as I think those extra threads will lengthen it's usable lifetime by a couple of years...which is significant in PC terms.

I did indeed think so. Thanks a lot!
