If the goal is a system for yourself, i9 9900 is a decent build that will last for a few years, instead, get a good GPU on what you save from going another route. Every day you are holding off, you also hold off from enjoying the new stuff too, I would factor that in. Now, no matter what would you upgrade to in a few years, whatever you buy today will most likely be obsolete by then.Even Zen 2? I guess prudent thing to do is to hold on to the i9 9900 without building it. Just keep it brand new unopened and wait till Zen 3 to see what happens?
So I can buy a 9900 non K for 220 bucks.
I would (probably will as well) get i9 9900 and Z390 mobo that supports MCE so it can run boosted. It does require a good cooler so add another 100$ 280mm AIO into the budget numbers.
All other conversation aside, I hope you picked that. Exceptional price on a part like that.
For that price, going from a Core i7 i7 930 for a Core i9 9900 there should be nothing to think about it or doubt about it. But yeah you will have to spend on a motherboard which is a dead platform after all.
Your Core i7 has half the physical cores (4 vs 8) of the Core i9 9900K and half the Threads (8vs16), but not only that we are talking about a huge amount of years of internal architecture development, DDR 4 memory support.
If you have doubts then pick the Core i5 10600K, a decent Z490 budget mobo and 2x8GB of DDR3 3200 RAM. Theers no much point spending a lot of money on a Core i7 or Core i9 when all you need in single core performance. The Core i5 10600K will get you there and beyong.
Also the 10600K has 6 cores and 12 threads, 50% more than your current i7.

This and many other comparisons involve the retail i9-9900 price. It is irrelevant to your specific case. You get an 8 core CPU for a very low price, plus the rest of the system for it is cheap now compared to the latest gen rivals.

I doubt you can beat this with Zen3 or 10th gen Intel:

It would be boosted as long as the thermals are good, hence the liquid cooler. I personally use Corsair AIO due to a very good deal I got on it, but given everything else is equal, the one I linked is a very good choice. A motherboard that supports MCE properly will keep it at boost clocks...Btw I normally use air coolers... Don't those liquid cooler do a worse job/dont you need to replace their liquid cooler? @vov4ik_il

I have this one for 3 years or so... It is not broken yet.I appreciate you man @vov4ik_il So you don't need to change out the liquid cooler? How long do these AIOs last anyways?

You can start with air cooler and see how that goes, but I believe the CPU will throttle under load.
AIO's can vary in time but usually 3-5 years before the pump dies. I had a H80i that went into a friends system that's still going strong after about 6 years.
Yes, until it breaks, given it is kept clean.If it lasts 3 to 5 years, does that mean the cooling performance is just as good in year 3 as it is in day ?
By being quiet and exhausting the heat overboard rather than cycling inside the case.It would seem you think that AIO performs bettter than air cooling?
AIO's seem to last longer but they don't, higher end air is better for the long run.
Which case?Thats what I was thinking from what they say. I've had a silver arrow air cooler since 2014 and haven't had a worry or seen a drop in performance.
What are some comparable air coolers for the price of AIO? @WildCard999
Which case?
Noctua or Be Quiet is pretty good in the $70-80 range but it depends on clearance.
